Wild Caught Shrimp vs. Farm Raised Shrimp

I highly recommend wild caught shrimp over farm raised. Now, I am forced to get wild caught shrimp because I am allergic to farm raised shrimp. I break out in hives all over my face when I have more than like 3 shrimps.

Sounds like a pain, but at the same time it really is a blessing in disguise. I did some research on farm raised shrimp – and they are pretty nasty business. Skip to the next session if you are easily grossed out.

Most shrimp farms are super crowded and unsanitary, and loads of pesticides, antibiotics (some that are banned), and chemicals are used to prevent diseases, and this ends up in the shrimp. Salmonella and E. coli have also been detected in imported shrimp. ALSO, it is disgusting! Think mouse hair, rat hair, and pieces of insects – all things that can be found in shrimp farms.

Anyway, sorry, this isn’t very appetizing… my point is get you some good wild caught shrimp! I normally buy Frozen, Peeled, and Deveined Shrimp.

About Broccoli

Here’s something interesting about broccoli. Just 100 grams of broccoli will give you over 150% of your recommended daily intake of Vitamin C! Besides that, it is also high in vitamin A, iron, vitamin K, B-complex vitamins, zinc, phosphorus and phyto-nutrients.

6 oz of broccoli, cut in to florets
3 cloves of Garlic, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil

In a wok or cooking pan, add shrimp and stir fry for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove shrimp and place aside.

Add the remaining 1 tbsp of sesame oil and garlic in to cooking pan, and cook over medium heat until garlic begins to brown (takes about 30 seconds or so), and then add broccoli florets. Stir occasionally for about a minute.

Add water and stir, and then cook covered on medium-low heat for about 2 minutes.

Uncover and add shrimp back in to cooking pan, along with soy sauce, honey, and salt to taste. Cook stirring occasionally at high heat for 3 more minutes or until broccoli and shrimp is cooked thoroughly.
