I Love Shrimp! I Love Eggs! I Begged And Pleaded, Dont Take Them Away From Me. All These Years The Nutritional Gurus Have Been Telling Us Theyre High In Cholesterol And If You Eat These Two Foods You Will Have A Heart Attack! Now, Well Conducted Studies Show That Low-fat Shrimp And Eggs, Substituted For Fatty Foods, Do Not Raise Blood Cholesterol And Are Not A Major Contributor To Heart Disease. A Study Published In The American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition Says Despite All That Cholesterol, Shrimp Is Perfectly Good For You.This Is No Longer A Health Concern, Because Shrimp Is Low-fat With A Rich Content Of Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids, Which Lead To The Formation Of High-density Lipids, Commonly Known As "good Cholesterol". Consuming Shrimp May Actually Lower Blood Cholesterol Levels.So, Heres A Great Shrimp Dish I Make Quite Often. The Original Recipe Came Out Of An Old Weight Watcher Cookbook, But As Always (something I Learned From My Grandma) I Usually Throw In A Few Extras To Make It Taste Better And Substitute Some Ingredients, But Its Still Healthy Cooking. I Lost 40 Lbs. On These Recipes Even With Additions. Heres A Tip I Would Like To Pass On About Fish. I Always Soak It In Milk Before Cooking; It Seems To Take Away Any Bad Fishy Taste.Shrimp In Spicy Mustard Sauce12 Oz.
