- Substitute shrimp with equal amounts of cooked chicken - the benefit of this substitution is that it is a more budget-friendly option that still offers a great source of protein.
- Substitute aioli with equal amounts of mayonnaise - the benefit of this substitution is that it is a more widely available ingredient, so it is easier to find in most grocery stores.
