  3. Hi Danielle!
    Your recipe says 1 T coc aminos but in the directions it looks like you use a total of 4? Just thought you would want to update. Making this week ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Could I do this with frozen shrimp and it be equally as delish? Trying to find a good pescatarian dish to make for my family.
