Ah, seafood! It can be intimidating to cook, but once you know the secrets to juicy seafood, you’ll never want to go without it again. Here’s my recipe for unlocking the secrets to juicy seafood, all with ingredients that can be found at Trader Joe’s.
Ingredients:
– Trader Joe’s Wild Caught Argentinian Red Shrimp ($9.99 for a 12 oz. bag)
– Trader Joe’s Frozen Organic Brown Rice ($2.99 for a 2 lb. bag)
– Trader Joe’s Organic Baby Spinach ($1.99 for a 5 oz. container)
– Trader Joe’s Organic Lemons (69 cents each)
– Trader Joe’s Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil ($5.99 for a 16 oz. jar)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Thaw the shrimp by placing them in a colander and running cold water over them for a few minutes. Let them sit in the colander to drain off excess water.
2. Cook the brown rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.
3. Heat up a tablespoon of the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp to the pan and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Cook the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are slightly crispy. Make sure not to overcook them!
5. While the shrimp is cooking, also heat up a tablespoon of coconut oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the baby spinach to the pan and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the spinach for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until it starts to wilt.
6. Serve the shrimp and spinach over a bed of brown rice, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top to add some brightness and acidity.
This recipe is so simple and easy to make, but it’s packed with nutrition from the shrimp (which is high in protein and low in calories), the spinach (which is loaded with vitamins and minerals), and the brown rice (which is a great source of fiber and complex carbohydrates). Plus, it’s affordable thanks to the budget-friendly ingredients from Trader Joe’s. Enjoy!
