Gorton's Seafood Challenge Review and Giveaway!

Posted on 18:36 by Unknown
Gorton's Seafood Challenge


I have been changing my eating habits recently and am trying to not only lose weight, but also permanently change my lifestyle to a healthier one. If I could eat shrimp everyday, I would. It is one of my favorite foods. Unfortunately, going out for shrimp dinner can get expensive and cooking from scratch is just not something I do very often. Gorton's Seafood has been in business since 1849 and sells frozen seafood which can be easily prepared.  

Encouraging Americans to "eat seafood twice a week", they have an amazing collection of recipes and 20 products that are 200 calories or less. Did you know the following benefits of eating fish thanks to the omega-3 fatty acids:

Promote heart health
Decrease blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels
Improve arthritis and joint pain
Lessen symptoms of depression and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Support eye health
Enhance brain growth and development
Aid brain growth in unborn babies, infants and kids
Decrease the risk for certain cancers
Reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease

Gorton's has a great selection of recipes to choose from and I have made some in the past and have never been disappointed. This time, I decided to try the following super-easy recipe:

Scampi Shrimp with Broccoli & Linguine
Ingredients
12 oz Gorton's Scampi Sauced Shrimp
8 oz broccoli florets, frozen
8 oz linguine, prepared

Instructions
Combine Gorton's Sauced Shrimp in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook 10-14 minutes, stirring occasionally, serve over linguine & enjoy!

Results:  This was definitely a great quick weekday meal and it sure beats hot dogs and macaroni and cheese or whatever else gag-me-but-quick-to-make-meals that we tend to subject ourselves to when we don't have the time or energy to make a decent meal.  It was a bit blander than I expected so if I make this dish again I think I will saute a clove of garlic in with the shrimp and broccoli and I think this would make a real difference with the taste. You could also add just about any vegetable you want. I used a whole grain pasta for the added health benefit. I also got some of the butterfly breaded shrimp for my kids to eat since I was not sure they would go for the Scampi Shrimp with Broccoli Linguine and it was an instant hit. They both love shrimp and were fighting over who got more!
