Wild American Shrimp Pack Nutritional Punch |

Cooking healthy does not mean giving up on great taste. That's one reason healthful food options, such as certified Wild American™ Shrimp, have become so popular. Harvested in their own natural environment from U.S. waters, certified Wild American Shrimp are low in fat and a source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. "Wild-caught shrimp are fresh, succulent and tender-the way nature intended, unlike 85 percent of shrimp, which is imported and pond-raised," says Nathalie Dupree, chef and author of "Shrimp & Grits." A typical 4-ounce portion has just 112 calories when served steamed, boiled, grilled or baked and provides 23 grams of protein-47 percent of the daily value for protein. Studies have found that shrimp is an excellent source of vitamin D, as well as niacin and iron. "Consumers have a choice when it comes to their seafood. Choosing local ingredients like Wild American Shrimp not only ensures you're getting the best-tasting seafood available, it also supports an entire industry and way of life," says Dupree. You can taste the difference with this recipe from Dupree's latest cookbook: Simple Supper Wild American Shrimp & Grits Makes 2 servings 2 cups cooked grits 4 tablespoons butter and/or olive oil 1 pound Wild American Shrimp, peeled 1 medium tomato, chopped 1 to 2 garlic cloves, chopped 1 tablespoon julienned fresh basil or parsley Reheat grits in the microwave or over low heat, with additional liquid if necessary. Melt butter and/or olive oil in a saucepan, preferably non-stick. Add shrimp and sauté until just before they turn pink. Add tomato and stir until liquid exudes slightly, just a minute or so. Add garlic and cook briefly. Divide grits between 2 plates, pour shrimp and tomato mixture on top, garnish with basil or parsley and serve.
