Classic Shrimp Recipes 4 Ways
Featured Recipe: New England Fried Shrimp Forget deep-frying and lose the batter for delicious healthy shrimp.EatingWell May/June 2008 4 Healthy Shrimp RecipesOnce viewed as a decadent luxury reserved for special occasions, shrimp is now the most consumed seafood in the United States. And no wonder: a 3-ounce serving of cooked shrimp has less than 85 calories, only 1.5 grams of fat (0 grams saturated fat) and plenty of lean protein, about 18 grams. And, although shrimp has more dietary cholesterol than most other seafood, in the last decade scientists have proved that, generally, dietary cholesterol does not elevate blood cholesterol—saturated fat. But when restaurants drench shrimp in butter or batter and deep-fry it, it goes from good to bad in a hurry. Here are four great-tasting recipes for regional favorites that keep shrimp’s reputation in the pink. Try our version of New England Fried Shrimp, dipped in whole-grain batter and sizzled in a little heart-healthy canola oil. Or toss some shrimp on the grill and serve them up in a whole-grain bun with plenty of coleslaw, fresh tomato and onion for our version of the Po’ Boy sandwich. Move over deep-fried popcorn shrimp, we’ve got something better.
