I am one month out and would love to add some new food to my repertoire. When did you first try shrimp. Any other suggestions.

I started eating shrimp about one month out. Just be careful not to ever cook it because if it gets rubbery you'll never be able to chew it up completely. It's a really wonderful source of Protein, low in calories and fat.

I was given the okay on shrimp at one month. I agree on the cooking of it if its rubbery its hard to chew it and go down easy. Love shrimp :)

I tried shrimp, crab, fish, and scallops at the month mark. They are still my favorite form of Protein and they are easier on the pouch than anything else! Tilapia is so quick and easy to cook and soooo easy on the belly!

Old bay makes steaming bags for fish and shrimp which make them nicely done without being over cooked.

Thank you Ladies, I am definitely going shopping tomorrow for fish and seafood. Steamer bags sound like a great idea. Do you use butter in your preparation or just plain steamed?

I too need help. I am one month out and bored with the same few foods I keep eating. I am going to add shrimp, scallops and tilapia to my menu for variety, but would love to hear what others are eating.

They Have seasoning in them! They have old bay seasoning, lemon butter, garlic butter, etc. old bay flavored shrimp are the best!
