Chef's Note
Healthy Tip
The recipe provides 280 ml (10 oz.) of marinade. Although this amount is necessary to prepare the seafood, not a lot of it has to be included when serving: 2 tablespoons per plate will suffice. In this way, you can reduce the calories from the sauce by half (902.3 to 451.1), cutting the calorie count to about 209.2 per serving.
