Shrimp — a Wonderful Seafood Source

In the past it was believed that shrimp were high in cholesterol and should be limited or avoided. However, recent research shows that the high percentage of “good fats” in shrimp reduces the impact of the cholesterol. Shrimp tend to be a seafood that kids will eat. Avoid the fried version!
