Ensopado de Marisco (Estilo Açorda Keto)
Keto Seafood Bread Stew (Cauliflower Based)
Yes, with a tweak: clearly specify a cauliflower base instead of bread. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A re-imagined version of the classic Açorda de Marisco, which is traditionally a bread-thickened seafood stew. This keto adaptation retains the rich seafood broth and fresh shellfish (prawns, clams, mussels, etc.) but uses finely riced cauliflower or other low-carb vegetables to mimic the texture and absorb the flavors, instead of bread. It's a flavorful and aromatic seafood dish.
Key ingredients
Mixed seafood (prawns, clams, mussels, monkfish), olive oil, garlic, cilantro, tomatoes (small amount), riced cauliflower, fish broth, paprika, white wine (optional, small amount).
How to make it keto
Clearly specify a cauliflower base instead of bread. Ensure no flour or other high-carb thickeners are used. Request omission of any high-carb vegetables if they are typically added.
Watch out for
Small amounts of white wine (if used) and tomatoes can contribute carbs. Cross-contamination with bread if made in a busy kitchen. Hidden sugars in tomato paste or processed broths.
