INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR INSTRUCTIONS:

SHRIMP:

CRAB MEAT:

• Use crab meat, which delivers a sweet and tender seafood taste. You can swap it with lobster meat, cod, or imitation crab.

RICOTTA CHEESE:

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• We use Parmesan cheese to deliver a savory and slightly nutty flavor. As a substitute, use Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast.

ZUCCHINI:

SPINACH:

TURMERIC:

ALMOND MILK:
