Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients. For a salad with shrimp, arugula and maasdam, we will need: shrimp, cherry tomatoes, arugula, a piece of maasdam, a clove of garlic, a piece of chili pepper, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt. Wash and dry the arugula.
Step 2:
Wash the shrimp, dry and remove the shell and head. Tails can be left.
Step 3:
Peel garlic. Remove the seeds from the chili pepper. Cut the pepper itself into small pieces.
Step 4:
Wash cherry tomatoes, dry and cut in half.
Step 5:
Maasdam cut into thin slices or grate.
Step 6:
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add garlic and chili pepper. Fry together until the garlic is browned. Then remove the garlic and pepper.
Step 7:
Put the shrimp in the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the shrimp from the pan. Save the oil left over from the shrimp.
Step 8:
Put arugula, halves of cherry tomatoes, shrimp and cheese on a serving dish.
Step 9:
Add balsamic vinegar and olive oil in which the shrimps were fried to the salad. Mix everything and serve it to the table.
Shrimp is not only delicious, but also extremely healthy. Firstly, it is one of the main sources of protein (like almost all seafood) in the complete absence of carbohydrates (which is important for diabetics and just for people who monitor blood sugar levels). Thus, boiled shrimp in combination with fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers) and herbs can be eaten as much as you want without any damage to the figure and health. You will get a minimum of calories with a huge amount of other useful elements.
In addition to protein, shrimp contain omega-3 fatty acids (just in the form that is needed for humans), selenium, vitamin B12, iron (which is very important for people with anemia), phosphorus, zinc, copper; magnesium; potassium (for the heart). And this is not the whole list of macro- and microelements.
Among other things, shrimps grown in natural conditions in open water contain iodine, which is so necessary for the thyroid gland to work.
