Key ingredients
Mixed seafood (shrimp, firm white fish, squid, clams, mussels), extra virgin olive oil, garlic, onion, bell pepper, dry white wine, fish broth, minimal tomato paste, cilantro, parsley, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no root vegetables (e.g., yuca, malanga, potato) and no starchy thickeners (e.g., cornstarch, flour) are used. Confirm no added sugar in tomato paste or broth. Request extra olive oil for higher fat.
Watch out for
Onions, bell peppers, and tomato paste contribute natural carbs. Very high risk of hidden starches for thickening the stew. Potential for hidden sugars in pre-made broths or tomato products. Large portions of vegetables can increase carb count.
