I think the clam juice is near the sardines, but she may have to ask for it.
I know it sounds awful, but I've used it in recipes before, and it's not as icky as it sounds (or looks, it's kind of pale grey). It actually makes a huge positive difference in recipes like this.
Ann, glad to hear about the veg option--do you sub tofu or anything at all for the shrimp?
