Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Οι Γαρίδες Σχάρας σκέτες, παρακαλώ, με μόνο λεμόνι και ελαιόλαδο. Όχι πανάρισμα, γλυκές μαρινάδες ή γλυκιά σος τσίλι. Και μόνο keto συνοδευτικά.
I'd like the Γαρίδες Σχάρας plain, please, with just lemon and olive oil. No breading, sugary marinades, or sweet chili sauce. Keto sides only.
