Shrimp & Avocado Canapes
Precooked shimp make this pretty appetizer a snap to prepare.
Caramelized Onion & Shrimp Bruschetta
Caramelized onion and golden raisins add sweet balance to shrimp in this easy bruschetta. It can be assembled in just a few minutes if you make the onion spread ahead of time. For a vegetarian option, serve topped with crumbled feta.
Shrimp Po' Boy
This twist on the Louisiana favorite piles grilled shrimp and creamy-dressed cabbage onto a crusty bun. Bread that's soft on the inside and crusty on the outside is perfect for a Po' Boy sandwich. We grill both sides of a whole-wheat bun for that added crunch. You may need a few extra napkins to enjoy it, but this quick and easy sandwich is well worth it. Serve with: Sauteed corn and bell peppers.
Shrimp Veracruzana
Veracruzana is a dish full of onions, jalapeños and tomatoes from the Mexican state of Veracruz. Here we pair the zesty sauce with shrimp, but it can be served with any type of fish or chicken. The heat of fresh jalapeños varies depending on growing conditions. Be sure to taste yours as you're adding them to the dish and adjust the amount according to your taste. For pepper flavor without the heat, use a thinly sliced green bell pepper in place of the jalapeños. Serve with: Rice or potatoes and an avocado salad.
Shrimp & Cheddar Grits
The South's version of creamy polenta, grits are easy to make on a weeknight—especially when topped with quickly broiled shrimp and scallions. Use the sharpest Cheddar you can find for these cheesy grits. Serve with: Sautéed greens and a tall glass of iced tea.
Enjoy these healthy and delicious shrimp recipes from EatingWell.
Once viewed as a decadent luxury reserved for special occasions, shrimp is now the most consumed seafood in the United States. It’s 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 does. But when restaurants drench shrimp in butter or batter and deep-fry it, it goes from good to bad in a hurry. These healthy, delicious recipes keep shrimp’s reputation in the pink.
