Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Graag geen suikerhoudende marinades op de gamba's. Simpel gegrild met knoflookboter en kruiden. Geen brood, rijst of aardappelen. Een kleine salade met keto-dressing kan wel.
No sugary marinades on the gamba's, please. Simply grilled with garlic butter and herbs. Avoid bread, rice, or potato. A small side salad with keto dressing is fine.
