We had a chance to try out one of the great recipes last night from Prograde’s healthy recipe e-book (see details below).  Coconut shrimp and also a vegetable red curry (not in the book) to go along with it (ignore the lousy iphone pic!)  I bought the biggest wild caught shrimp in the store (you should avoid farm raised fish, it has higher PCB levels, higher fat and less Omega 3′s, plus dyes and antibiotics).  The recipe said “lightly greased pan” so I used coconut oil which is stable under heat and is full of healthy fats (not to mention it goes great with coconut shrimp!)

Not everything was healthy though, I used white Jasmine rice which is what I had on hand, brown rice would have been a lot better with more fiber…I’m slowly replacing the bad with healthy substitutes.  Anyway, the dinner was fantastic, the shrimp tasted awesome and were low fat…except some of the good kind from the coconut oil ; )

So, make a healthy change today, maybe try out a new recipe!
