Nutritional Content:

I have replaced the cream from dairy with coconut cream, and substituted the shellfish for fish.

This recipe is ideal for people who have a food allergy or intolerance.

Dairy and shellfish can be replaced without compromising on taste or the nutritional value of the dish.

This recipe is packed with protein, essential fats, and is extremely filling, nourishing and warming on a winters day.
