Useful swaps
- Use thin strips of white fish instead of shrimp.
- Use dairy-free sour cream for a dairy-free variation.
Why this is a good weeknight call
It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
