Cangrejo Guisado
Stewed Crab (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no starchy thickeners are used. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and savory stew made with fresh crab meat or crab pieces, slowly cooked in a flavorful criolla sauce of tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, and herbs. Traditionally served with rice, but easily made keto by omitting starches.
Key ingredients
Crab meat/pieces, tomatoes, tomato paste, bell peppers (red, green), onion, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, oregano, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no starchy thickeners are used. Served without rice, plantains, or other traditional high-carb sides. Request extra non-starchy vegetables like sautéed green beans or spinach instead.
Watch out for
Sugar in tomato paste/sauce, starchy thickeners (flour, cornstarch), high-carb side dishes, potential for sweetening the stew.
