Is Shrimp Good for a Healthy Diet?
Shrimp often gets a bad rap since it's high in cholesterol, but it can be a healthy addition to your diet. It contains beneficial minerals that contribute to an overall impressive nutrition profile.
So much so that it’s a contender for the best sources of protein, selenium, and creatine.
What Goes Good With Shrimp?
Shrimp’s bare, oceanic essence makes it enjoyable, plain, or paired.
We love it salted lightly, but we also can’t deny the wonders a basic garlic-butter sear works. Or how a bowl of Southern-style grits complements shrimp splendidly.
Whatever your preference, there are many ways to take these crustacean critters to the next level. So let’s explore them!
1. Shrimp and Grits
This Southern invention is an excellent duo. Like an angelic intervention, the creamy cornmeal smoothes out each chunky bite to deliver a heavenly experience!
In essence, soul food meets ocean splendor in shrimp and grits—and the result is divine.
Many have reservations about the texture and taste of shrimp and grits, but smooth-textured versions do exist, and they ooze authentic Cajun flavors.
We recommend this incredible shrimp and grits meal by The Wicked Noodle to help kick off your Southern food experience. Or to simply introduce you to more fascinating seafood flavors!
2. Shrimp and Pasta
You can pair numerous foods with pasta, but a few shrimp and pasta classics are worth mentioning.
The likes of shrimp scampi, shrimp ravioli, and shrimp carbonara are some of the best amalgams to grace the culinary sphere. Michelin-star restaurant chefs make it their life’s art to master these dishes and deliver a fine dining experience.
What if you could do the same in your kitchen? Try out this terrific Pesto Shrimp Pasta, and you won’t set foot in a restaurant again!
3. Shrimp and Rice
Like pasta, it’s hard to go wrong with rice pairings.
You can try this glorious shrimp risotto that’s so creamy you won’t get enough of it! Or settle for a simple shrimp casserole; most people will love both.
Below are more rice-paired options to help you begin your shrimp affair!
