Cooking Tips
🦐 Shrimp
- Devein shrimp by running a knife along the back and pulling out the dark vein.
- Shrimp cook in 2-3 minutes per side — they're done when pink and curled.
- Don't thaw shrimp in hot water; use cold water or overnight in the fridge.
Nutrition: Low-calorie protein source with iodine and selenium. 3oz has 20g protein and only 84 calories.
Storage: Use fresh shrimp within 2 days. Frozen shrimp keeps for 6 months.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
