Seafood is a healthy addition to any diet. Whether it’s fish, mollusks or crustaceans, seafood tends to be lower in calories and saturated fat than meat- or poultry-based protein sources, and it may be rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Shrimp, in particular, is a type of seafood that many people enjoy because it’s not as fishy as other offerings. Shrimp can be cooked in various ways, but turning ground shrimp into patties gives an interesting spin that’s big on flavor. Lucky for us, shrimp is easy to come by here in Texas. Try “Shrimp Cakes with Honey Lemon Aioli” from “30-Minute Meal Prep” (Sourcebooks) by Robin Miller.
