Aromatic gazpacho with shrimps - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen shrimp instead of fresh for this gazpacho recipe?

You can blend fresh tomatoes with a bit of water to create a substitute for tomato juice, or use vegetable broth for a different flavor profile.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
