SHRIMP

Looking for a low calorie appetizer or a healthy protein source?  Try shrimp.  At 30 calories an ounce (4 medium shrimp) it's a great option.  Don't fret about the cholesterol in it because cholesterol needs to be paired with saturated fat to be absorbed.  Shrimp only has a miniscule amount of saturated fat so cholesterol absorption is prevented.  Shrimp is also a source of the heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids.  So enjoy some shrimp cocktail, kabobs, stir fries, or salads guilt free.
