Obsessed with Seafood! How many times per week?
You might already know that I’m obsessed with seafood. It doesn’t matter if it’s a fish or other amazing ingredients that come straight from the sea. I’m in! Probably I eat seafood about three to four times a week and I can’t imagine my life without seafood.
Less meat or fish? Sugar Cravings
Every time I start eating less fish or meat and choose more vegan dishes my sugar cravings kick in. Yes, I eat healthy sweets but the problem is portion control. When I don’t eat enough fish or meat, then I can binge eat sweets all day long. That’s why I feel that seafood and meat are always going to be part of my menu.
Australia Seafood? Keto Garlic Prawns Experiment
I came up with this keto garlic prawns recipe when I was living in Australia. Obviously, prawns and other seafood choices in Australia are amazing. That’s why I had a chance to experiment with different recipes and one of my all-time favorite ones was this garlic recipe. All those herbs, lime and garlic mixture will always give that perfect combination for my prawns.
