Health Benefits of Wild American Shrimp

Shrimp Have Been Named One of the 5 Foods to Prevent Your Arteries from Clogging.
-The Dr. Oz Show

 

Despite being a source of cholesterol, shrimp can be helpful for your heart. They contain taurine, an amino acid that acts like plastic wrap so fats can’t cross the intestinal wall and get into your arteries. Try having 5 medium-sized steamed or grilled shrimp twice a week. Be sure to avoid the cocktail sauces.
