  • When selecting shrimp, look for those that are firm and have a mild ocean smell.
  • When using canned tomatoes, make sure to choose a variety that is not too acidic.

  • Substitute the cherry tomatoes with 1 can (14.5 ounce) of diced tomatoes. This substitution would reduce the cooking time and still provide a similar flavor profile.
  • Substitute the olive oil with avocado oil. This substitution would provide a healthier alternative and still provide the same flavor.
