Easy and Healthy Shrimp Recipe: Omelette

Shrimp recipes are always healthy! It’s rich in protein, tasty and got no fats in it. I personally enjoy shrimps a lot; it’s a versatile seafood and can be cooked in many ways. Moreover it’s healthy so it becomes quite an obvious meal in your family.


Shrimp may look like a tiny seafood; in fact it is considered as an insect in the sea. But don’t go on its size because it’s healthy. Shrimp has low-fat and low-calorie protein, i.e. a 4 ounce serving of shrimp provides 23.7 grams of protein for a little 112 calories and less than a gram of fat. Often shrimps are mistaken or given a bad repo that it contains high cholesterol content but from the studies done by many health organizations, it has been proved that shrimp cholesterol may not be that bad for you. Actually, it’s a good source of omega-3 fatty acids which reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems because it reduces cholesterol in the blood.

**Omega-3 fatty acids used to ease the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome which we all women face; avoid blood clots, prevent the development of rheumatoid arthritis, decelerates the growth of cancerous tumors, and also helps prevent Alzheimer's disease.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple and Tangy Side Dish

Are you looking for some healthy grilled pork chops? Then today’s post is completely dedicated to a recipe which is perfect for summer and its good for the people who are health freaks and look for such recipes which have calories lower than 250. Nevertheless, recently I tried this amazing recipe shared by one of my friend, this easy grilled pork chops  have a perfect combination of flavors and essence. The coffee and molasses used as marinade gives it an amazing taste and lemon juice just give that zing to this recipe which is absolutely delightful.


For a perfect grilled pork recipe, the most important procedure is its marinade. There are plenty of marinade recipes which you can go for. Choose a marinade recipe that sounds upright and then let your meat marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Let the marinade get absorbed by the meat. There is a common myth that marinade helps in tendering the meat, which is not completely true. The only marinate which actually helps in breaking the fiber of meat are the one which are taken from an animal i.e. buttermilk or yogurt! All the other are alkaline base and acidic base which helps in distributing the flavors evenly in the meat. Under acidic base you have lemon, pineapple, vinegar and all sour ingredients that you use for marinade. In alkaline base you use papaya; papaya actually breaks the molecules and fiber of the meat completely which makes meat soggy in taste. So if you are grilling meat where you need nice crisp texture, avoid using papaya marinade for the grilling.
