  • Make sure to select a can of shrimp that is already cooked and peeled to save time.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh peas instead of canned peas.

  • Substitute the shrimp with canned salmon for a higher omega-3 fatty acid content. The benefit of this substitution is that it can provide a healthier alternative to the dish, as salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Substitute the peas with green beans for a crunchier texture. The benefit of this substitution is that it can provide a different texture and flavor to the dish, as green beans are crunchier than peas.
