Read More »I love shrimp, but my husband is allergic to them, so I don’t prepare them often, but when I do I love every morsel. I also enjoy them when I go out to dinner. Shrimp has a flavor that is enhanced or complimented by herbs either on the shrimp or in the sauce that is served with them. When I was growing up, we didn’t have shrimp often, but I do remember a few times when my mom made a creole sauce for them. When I worked at the White Bear Yacht Club in Minnesota they would have cold shrimp on the buffet or members could order Shrimp Cocktail or Shrimp Coquille off the menu. Now when I have shrimp at home I have it cold in a salad or with cocktail sauce, shrimp scampi, or put it in my Tomato Bisque. Most shrimp are sold frozen, either raw or cooked, can have the shells on or off, and sold based on grading, color, and uniformity. Unless you live on the ocean, all shrimp are frozen when they are caught. If you see raw shrimp in the seafood case, they were frozen and then thawed. So, buy frozen and thaw them yourself in the refrigerator or in a bowl of cold water. Look for the size number on the package - not small, medium, or large – for the number tells you how many shrimp per pound, so the larger the number the smaller the shrimp. Shrimp and prawns are virtually the same with prawns being larger. Shrimp have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and low levels of mercury. Usually shrimp are sold whole, though sometimes only the meat of shrimp is marketed. As with other seafood, shrimp is high in calcium, iodine and protein but low in calories. Shrimp consumption, however, is considered healthy for the circulatory system because the lack of significant levels of saturated fat in shrimp means that the high cholesterol content in shrimp actually improves the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol and lowers triglycerides. Ranging in size from small to jumbo, shrimp are typically 1 to 3 inches long. The crustaceans come from warm and cold waters around the world. The pink cold-water ones come cooked and peeled. Warm-water shrimp, in white, brown or pink, are available cooked or raw. Around 90% of the shrimp you eat come from a farm. They're raised in ponds on a controlled diet. Fishermen catch wild shrimp in coastal waters. These shrimp make up the other 10% of what we eat in the U.S.

Read More »You can cook shrimp with the shell on or off. If you want to peel off the shell, start by pulling off the legs and the shell can easily slip off. You can leave the shell on the tail or remove it, depending on your recipe. Shrimp have a dark threadlike digestive tract (looks like a vein) running along their curved backs. You need to remove this after thawing and before cooking shrimp, otherwise you could get a bit of sandy grit in your meal. Here's how to remove that vein with or without taking off the flavorful shell: If you're going to cook the shrimp in the shell, use kitchen scissors or a small sharp knife to cut through the shell along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail, then use the scissors or knife to lift out the vein. If you've removed the shell, just cut a slit along the back and remove the vein. If some sandy residue remains, you can easily rinse it away in cold running water. Shrimp can be boiled, broiled, grilled, fried, deep fat fried, in the shells or out, with breading or naked. Choose your favorite but be open to try something new. If marinating shrimp, do it for only 30 minutes or less. Herbs and blends that go well with shrimp are: basil, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, chili powder, chives, cilantro, curry powder, dill, garlic, lemon balm, marjoram, mint, oregano, paprika, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon, and thyme.
