A shrimp boil is a fun, clean eating summer meal, and it’s really fun when you’re having guests over. Throwing shrimp, muscles, corn and new potatoes into a pot with spices is quick and healthy. Here are the nutritional highlights for 3 ounces of some of my favorite seafood that can be used when entertaining friends:
Shrimp- 90 calories, 17 grams of protein
Oysters- 57 calories, and more than 250% of your daily zinc levels
Crab- 73 calories, 127% of your daily B12
Lobster- 135 calories, with 50% of your recommended selenium http://www.cincinnati.md/articlepage_cn.aspx?cn-documentid=652914&query=what is selenium&s=1&cat=con
Clams- 63 calories, 66% of your daily iron requirements
Scallops-75 calories, adding 27% of your selenium intake
Mussels- 73 calories, with 170% of your daily B12 recommendations
If you read my blog regularly, you know that I love seafood! It doesn’t weight you down, and it’s quick to fix. Enjoy!
