    Hi! Seems delicious but fish sauce without sugar is very hard to find in Belgium. Can I substitute this with something Else?

    I’m not a big fan of fish, but I do eat shrimp. Could I make this with shrimp instead?

    Maybe try anchovies (canned or jarred)? Or anchovy paste. Or just the oil from the canned or jarred anchovies. Anchovies themselves melt down easily in a pan or microwave.

    Yes, shrimp would work well in this dish.

    I added some al dente cauliflower for a bit of crunch and replaced half the fish for some scallops...It was AMAZING! Even the non-keto critics loved it!

    I was skeptical and almost didn't make this. It didn't sound good to me, plus the picture was gross, IMHO. However, I was surprised! It was delicious, even better the next day. I used shrimp.

    Great dish. Made it for my family and they all devoured it. Added noodles for the kids adults had it as per the recipe. Added some fresh coriander and a few drops of sesame oil to it.
