Pargo Entero a la Plancha con Mojo de Ajo (Estilo Keto)
Whole Grilled Red Snapper with Garlic Mojo (Keto)
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Costa Rican dishes.
What it is
A whole red snapper, seasoned and grilled to flaky perfection, then generously drizzled with a vibrant 'mojo de ajo'—a zesty sauce made with fresh garlic, olive oil, and lime juice. Served without traditional carb sides.
Key ingredients
Whole red snapper, olive oil, fresh garlic, lime juice, cilantro, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no flour is used on the fish or in the mojo sauce. Confirm no sugary marinades. Request to be served with a side of mixed green salad or steamed low-carb vegetables (e.g., broccoli) instead of rice, beans, or patacones.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in some pre-made marinades or seasoning rubs. Automatic serving with traditional high-carb sides if not explicitly requested otherwise.
