- For a milder flavor, use milder peppers such as Anaheim peppers instead of jalapeno peppers.
- Look for shrimp that has been peeled and deveined for convenience.
- Substitute olive oil with avocado oil - Avocado oil is a healthier alternative to olive oil, as it has a higher smoke point and is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids. This substitution will make the dish more nutritious and will help to prevent burning.
- Substitute shrimp with tofu - Tofu is a great vegan alternative to shrimp, as it has a similar texture and can be cooked in a similar way. This substitution will make the dish more accessible to vegan and vegetarian diets.
