Shrimp

Postby pinkbugs471 » January 14th, 2007, 11:04 am

Hey guys. While digging around in the freezer, I found a bag of shrimp. I consider shrimp fish. Am I correct in thinking I can have 7 oz for my lean & green.?

Yeppy, shrimpies are way in :mrgreen:. And actually, if I ever have shrimps, 7 oz is *a lot* and I normally split the 7 oz between two different things. It's fun :).


Cheers,

Mmmmm... some shrimp scampi sounds good right about now...

9 oz small shrimp, shelled (they will shrink after cooking)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Heat large nonstick skillet with Pam over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté one minute. Increase heat to high. Add shrimp and paprika.

Cook, stirring briskly, for 2 minutes. Cook just until shrimp are pink and cooked through (do not overcook shrimp, it toughens them). Transfer to a platter with a slotted spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley; serve immediately.

It sounds delicious! I think scampi also has white wine in it too we will have to forgo! I think I would miss the butter more!

Besides, scampi MEANS shrimp in Italian. So technically, nothing else is required.

Exactly! So "shrimp scampi" is redundant - and it repeats itself, too!

:mrgreen: shrimp shrimp :mrgreen:

Yes, and taco means a rolled piece of paper but don't tell a bunch of hungry Herrera's (my maiden name) that's all they get!

I have a question at one of my nutrition meetings through TSFL the nutritionist was saying something about not eating shrimp due to the high cholesterol.

Is that right? I'm pretty "nutritional value" stupid when it comes to food lol
