How are your New Year’s resolutions coming?
We’re trying to eat healthier this new year and one of my goals is getting more protein and seafood on the menu. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends that people eat at least two servings of seafood each week, however, did you know that the average American consumes less than one serving a week? This means that to meet recommended consumption, we, as a nation, need to double our seafood intake.
Shrimp reigns supreme as America’s #1 seafood and, when compared to other sources of protein (such as chicken), this versatile and affordable seafood offers a healthy and lean alternative. A leading provider of seafood, SeaPak Shrimp & Seafood Co. is committed to making life for consumers a little more coastal, by sharing with them the best tastes and experiences of coastal living and to share it with family and friends. SeaPak is highly regarded within the seafood industry for its adherence to the utmost quality standards and for its commitment to resource management and sustainability and they’re also a family favorite here at our house.
We love SeaPak for the fresh taste and versatility, and it’s so easy to prepare in so many recipes. Since healthy eating is on the menu for so many of us this time of year, I thought I’d share an easy Shrimp Parmesan Salad recipe that takes only minutes and is a super easy weeknight meal or great healthy lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 20 oz package SeaPak® Popcorn Shrimp
- 1 bag baby spinach salad
- 1/3 cup sweet vinaigrette dressing (We love Hendrickson’s Original – add more or less depending on tastes)
- 1 apple sliced
- Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Candied Pecans or Walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Prepare shrimp to package to instructions.
- Slice the apple and cut into bite-size pieces.
- Grate Parmesan cheese. For long thin slices like shown in the photo, use a vegetable peeler for best results.
- Add spinach to a large bowl and toss with the desired amount of vinaigrette dressing.
- Top with shrimp once cooked as instructed. Add apple, cheese and sprinkle as desired with candied pecans or walnuts for a little extra sweet.
- Enjoy.
