  • Meanwhile, combine pork with 1 tsp salt, mix well, and form one inch balls, dropping them into the stock as they're done.
  • Add shrimp and fish to stock, along with tomato puree, onion, pressed garlic, and 1-2 tsp salt (add more to taste later).
  • Turn heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add cauliflower rice and simmer for 15 more minutes.
  • Remove from heat and use a large spoon or fork to break up the fish planks and disperse through the soup.
  • Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

Considerations for more advanced stages
As you progress through the stages, you can "upgrade" this shrimp gumbo recipe by first sauteing the onion and garlic in about 1/4 cup ghee before adding the remaining ingredients.
In addition, you can experiment with the following spices, as tolerated in later stages: fresh parsley (stage two), pepper, cayenne, and bay leaves.
Once you start adding fermented vegetables, kimchi is a perfect complement to this dish.
