Asopao de Mariscos (Sin Arroz)
Seafood Stew (Keto-Style, No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely critical: request 'sin arroz' (no rice). About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and flavorful stew featuring a variety of fresh seafood in a savory broth with vegetables. The keto version omits the traditional rice component, focusing on the protein-rich seafood and aromatic base.
Key ingredients
Mixed seafood (shrimp, calamari, mussels, clams, fish), tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, chicken or fish broth, olive oil, spices (oregano, sazón)
How to make it keto
Absolutely critical: request 'sin arroz' (no rice). Also confirm no starchy thickeners or root vegetables (like yuca or potatoes) are added, which are not typical for Asopao but can appear in other stews.
Say this to the waiter (Spanish)
El Asopao de Mariscos, por favor, pero sin arroz. Y que no lleve espesantes con almidón ni víveres como yuca o patatas.
I'd like the Asopao de Mariscos, but strictly no rice, no starchy thickeners, and no root vegetables like yuca or potatoes.
Watch out for
The dish is fundamentally defined by rice. If not explicitly requested 'sin arroz', it will be a high-carb meal. Tomato content in the broth contributes some natural sugars.
