Asopado de Mariscos (Keto, Sin Arroz)
Keto Seafood Stew (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no rice, potatoes, yuca, or other starchy thickeners. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Venezuelan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty and rich seafood stew featuring a variety of fresh shellfish and fish simmered in a flavorful broth with aromatic vegetables. This keto version completely omits the traditional rice base, focusing on the abundant seafood and savory liquid for a robust meal.
Key ingredients
Assorted seafood (shrimp, squid, mussels, clams, fish fillets), fish broth, tomatoes (small amount), onion, garlic, bell peppers, cilantro, dry white wine, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Absolutely no rice, potatoes, yuca, or other starchy thickeners. Ensure only keto-friendly vegetables are included. Ask for extra seafood to compensate for the omitted rice and ensure a generous portion of healthy fats (olive oil).
Watch out for
Hidden rice in traditional preparation, flour/starch used to thicken the broth, sugary tomato paste, starchy vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots).
