We decided to plate ours over zoodles, but there are plenty of other sides that are also bariatric friendly that work well with shrimp. Considering the size of this recipe, you can make quite a few different meals for the week or you can cut down the ingredients to keep your portions where they are supposed to be after surgery. We love to meal prep, so we usually go with the full recipe and have meals for most of the week.
If you don’t normally cook with shrimp, you should give it a chance. We know it can be a little intimidating the first time. It really doesn’t take a lot of talent, just keep an eye on the color of your shrimp. You are looking for a pinkish color that is opaque. If you get it too done, it will be more of a grey color. It will also be tough and chewy if it cooked too long.
