- When selecting oranges and lemons, look for those that feel heavy for their size and have bright, glossy skin.
- When selecting shrimp, make sure they are firm and have a mild sea-like smell.
- Substitute the shrimp with a firm white fish such as cod or halibut. The benefit of this substitution is that it provides a more mild flavor and is a healthier alternative to shrimp.
- Substitute the olive oil with coconut oil. The benefit of this substitution is that coconut oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil, meaning that it can be cooked at higher temperatures without burning.
