Shrimp for Dinner

I would love to live close to the ocean, only to be able to get fresh seafood. But I don't so I have to be ok with frozen. I buy different kinds to try out. Tonight I fixed boiled shrimp. Any shrimp is good with cocktail sauce, in my opinion. Sometimes I fix a baked potato to go with it, but not tonight. Just shrimp. It has been a long day. So this was a quick dinner. I love all kinds of seafood. Did you know that shrimp are loaded with protein, vitamin D, vitamin B3, and zinc, as well as being carbohydrate-free. So enjoy some shrimp if you get the chance. Do you like seafood?

I do. I really do. I like the little bitty prawn type shrimps. So tasty with some melted butter on. I bought some salmon frozen today. Also because I cant get the fresh here. I do miss the sea side for that. Hope you enjoyed the shrimp Carol.

I LOVE seafood, and I LOVE shrimp. In fact, I just had salmon yesterday. Shrimp is good in so many ways, fried, boiled, served cold with cocktail sauce. There has not been a shrimp I have found was not a joy to pop into my mouth.

@CarolDM Never been one for oysters personally. But salmon cooked any way is usually good to me. I wish my wife liked it, otherwise I would cook it at home more often. Most of the time I have it when we eat out.

@porwest Only if oysters are fried a certain way do I like them. They are delicious. Salmon is one of those diets, you either like or you don't.

I love it too and miss the food in New Orleans so bad. Baked salmon is great. I agree about shrimp and I love fried oysters if they are fried just right.

They'd be perfect for my diet if I liked them! Glad you enjoy your shrimp though :) In seafood I stick to tuna, trout, and salmon mostly.

I love shrimps and I would eat even more, I only refrain for the simple reason they cause the cholesterol to go up. I was surprised when I have read this, but my doctor confirmed.

@CarolDM This is what I do, I prepare shrimps about once a week and I do not think that they are so bad, they have no fat.

Yes that is why I eat everything in moderation. It is true Anna. But if you only eat is one a week or so you should be fine.

Shrimp have a lot of iodine and some people are allergic.

I love seafood, and I live near the ocean! One of the benefits of living in Florida is having access to abundant fresh seafood! And trust me, I take advantage of that! haha Isn't it funny that creatures like shrimp and lobster are bottom-feeders that eat all the garbage that sinks to the bottom of the ocean, yet we consider them a fancy feast?

Yes when I lived in New Orleans I was so spoiled at the great food. It is funny and I try not to think about what the seafood does before it gets to my plate.

Love it, but it's getting expensive to buy seafood. I too have to go frozen. I like smaller packages of frozen seafood but these are hard to find.

@CarolDM Yes I love seafood too especially dry seafood. They have a local specialty of dried ahi or aku, tuna, and it's expensive 21.99 a pound, but it's light so 3, 6" about 3/4 thickness is 3.35 that I love if it's all red tuna meat. I love dried scallops and now because of it's price I can only remember the taste.Dry sardines are another of my favorites.

I love shrimp, the only problem with them other than the fact that they are rather expensive..is that they are also high in cholesterol, much more than other fish.

I find them frozen inexpensive and only have them about once week or so. All in moderations. If you only eat a few once w week you will be fine.
