100 g of shrimp will typically have 20 g of protein, and about 152 mg of cholesterol (this is good for your health). It will also have about 0.6 g of omega-3 fats, and 0.03 g of omega-6; an omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of about 20.
My wife prepared this steamed gulf shrimp with vegetables dish. And it was very, very delicious. Here is her recipe:
- Add a small amount of olive oil and water to a frying pan.
- Add 1 lb of wild-caught peeled gulf shrimp, cabbage, onion, and asparagus (or green beans, as in the photo).
- Cook in low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add spinach and cook in low heat for another 10 minutes.
- Turn off heat, season to taste while mixing; I suggest using garlic powder, cumin powder, and parsley flakes.
Peeled shrimp is usually farm raised, which does not have the same amount of omega-3, or the same ratio of omega-3 to omega-6, as wild-caught shrimp. This small “salad” gulf shrimp was an exception.
Check the package. If it doesn’t explicitly say “wild”, you are better off buying wild-caught shrimp and peeling it yourself. Shrimp peelers are sold in most supermarkets; the one I use looks like a Velociraptor claw.

Sounds good, Ned. It inspired me to buy some Gulf shrimp and make New Orleans barbecued shrimp last night. "Barbecued" is kind of misleading, since they are baked in a piquant sauce, not done on a grill.
Thanks for your postings here, and on other blogs... I've been enjoying what you have to say.
Thanks.
do you have the fat free version of this awesome recipe? please post it!
