Shrimp - What Else Can You Fix With It?



Recommended Posts

I have fixed shrimp every way I know or think I know and it hasn't hit that spot. If anyone has shrimp dishes (other than salad) I'm opened to suggestions... Please share those shrimp recipes :wub: :rolleyes:

I like to bake or grill foil packets filled with shrimp, mushrooms & zucchini all topped with salsa.

I also like those ingredients in spaghetti sauce topped with mozzarella.

How about shrimp served chilled with cocktail sauce? That never gets old for me!

I love shrimp.

coarse chopped celery

coarse chopped onion

coarse chopped green pepper

saute in a lil olive oil or dare I say it... butter (I like to use a touch of both)

once veggies are almost at the softness you desire toss in the shrimp and cook until shrimp are done.

Serve.

My husband and I are both sleevers, and we eat a lot of sushi. Since I can't eat regular white or brown rice but CAN tolerate rice paper, we make spring rolls with boiled shrimp, julienne veggies (cucumber, lettuce or cabbage), some cilantro (ESSENTIAL, in my opinion), all wrapped up in the rice paper. It's cool, it's no-cook, it's high Protein, and it's fantastic. We dip into peanut sauce, which is basically Peanut Butter, some chili sauce, and some soy sauce with a squeeze of lime juice, thinned with Water. We LOVE these! For you carb trackers, there are 4 carbs in a piece of rice paper--and I can only eat about half a piece of the rice paper-wrapped spring roll at a time. You may be able to handle more. Enjoy!! :)

I love stir fry these days. I buy a bag of stir fry mixed veggies, heat up a half cup of those veggies with a little stir fry sauce and throw in some shrimp (5-6 usually) and that's a meal for me. I usually can't finish the veggies.

One of my favorites is shrimp nachos. Take chips or a tortilla, add shrimp and cheese (I like mozzarella or some kind of jack) and bake it or nuke it. Serve with salsa and/or cocktail sauce. Really good.

  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp

  • 1 cup fresh lime juice

  • 10 plum tomatoes, diced

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, or to taste
  • Place shrimp in a glass bowl and cover with lime juice to marinate (or 'cook') for about 10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Meanwhile, place the plum tomatoes, onion and jalapeno (and avocados and celery, if using) in a large, non-reactive (stainless steel, glass or plastic) bowl.
  • Remove shrimp from lime juice, reserving juice. Dice shrimp and add to the bowl of vegetables. Pour in the remaining lime juice marinade. Add cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to mix.

Shrimp ceviche, which is very easy and healthy. Shrimp quesodilla, that is my quick fix when I need something high Protein and fast. I make Pasta for the family, I eat shrimp and broccoli with Alfredo sauce. Two of my favorite shrimp foods are Mexican shrimp cocktail and Mexican shrimp Soup. There are tons if recipes out there for any if them.

If you like spicy - 3.7 carbs per serving and 11 grams protein! (3 poppers)

Shrimp Jalapeño Poppers

Prep Time: | Cook Time: | Servings: Serves 8 (serving size: 3 poppers) | Difficulty:

Ingredients:

12 jalapeño chiles

1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

8 ounces Leyden cheese, shredded

3 green onions, thinly sliced

1 cup cooked bay shrimp

Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium (350° to 450°). Wearing kitchen gloves, halve chiles lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and ribs with a spoon.

2. Toast cumin seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a food processor, add cheeses, and whirl to blend. Put cheese mixture in a bowl and stir in onions and shrimp.

3. Spoon cheese filling into chiles. Lay a sheet of greased foil on cooking grate. Set chiles, filling side up, on greased foil, cover grill, and cook until chiles are tender and cheese is melted and starting to brown, 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes: Leyden is a Dutch cheese that's like gouda with cumin seeds mixed in. If you can't find it, use regular gouda and a few more toasted cumin seeds

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
