- Instead of shrimp, use canned tuna for a more affordable option. This substitution will still provide the same flavor and texture, but with a lower cost.
- Instead of mayonnaise, use greek yogurt for a healthier option. Greek yogurt is a great source of protein and provides a creamier texture than mayonnaise.
