- Use raw shrimp instead of cooked shrimp. The texture and flavor will be so much better.
- You may use any other oil instead of olive oil.
- Peas: if you don't like peas, use other veggies of choice. You may also skip it completely.
- yogurt: we used plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Sour cream will also work. For a non-dairy option, you can use dairy-free yogurt.
- It is best to use fresh garlic cloves instead of garlic powder.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
