Cazuela de Mariscos (Keto, sin Tubérculos)
Keto Seafood Casserole/Stew (without Tubers)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes, yuca, or plantains. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Nicaraguan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and hearty seafood stew featuring a medley of fresh shellfish and fish (shrimp, squid, mussels, fish pieces) simmered in a flavorful, creamy broth often with a tomato base. This keto version excludes starchy tubers, focusing on the abundant seafood and savory liquid, often thickened with coconut milk or a touch of cream.
Key ingredients
Assorted seafood (shrimp, squid, mussels, fish pieces), tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, coconut milk or heavy cream, fish broth, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, spices (paprika, oregano, bay leaf).
How to make it keto

Watch out for
