Curried Shrimp
Yes, with a tweak: strictly request 'no potatoes' (commonly added to curries) and 'no rice, no roti'. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Trinidadian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Plump shrimp cooked in a vibrant and aromatic curry sauce, bursting with the distinctive flavors of Trinidadian curry powder, garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs, often finished with coconut milk.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, cooking oil, Trinidadian curry powder, garlic, ginger, onions, pimento peppers, fresh chadon beni, thyme, coconut milk (optional but common), water, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Strictly request 'no potatoes' (commonly added to curries) and 'no rice, no roti'. Confirm that no flour or starch is used to thicken the curry sauce. If served with bread, politely decline.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a very common addition to curries; hidden starches in some commercial curry powders; added sugars in certain brands of coconut milk; and the traditional high-carb accompaniments like rice and roti.
