What a Catch
July 1st, 2009Lobster and tuna and barramundi—oh my! Standing in front of the fish counter isn’t as easy as it used to be.

Plus, I’m nursing a newborn, and it just seems easier to skip seafood altogether instead of making the wrong choice.
How to choose the most sustainable seafoodLight Shrimp Salad
July 1st, 2009Unfeatured1 pound cooked shrimp, deveined, shells and tails removed
1/2 cup lime juice, preferably fresh-squeezed
1/2 cup lemon juice, preferably fresh-squeezed

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tomato, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt, to taste1. Chop shrimp into chunks and combine with the next three ingredients in a medium-sized bowl; let sit, refrigerated, for 1 to 4 hours. Since the shrimp is already cooked, this allows the flavors to meld, rather than letting the citrus juice actually cook the fish, like in a ceviche.
2. Just before serving, stir in the remaining ingredients. Serve with tortilla chips.nutrition info per serving (6): 119.1 calories; 3.2 g fat; 0.5 g saturated fat; 147.3 mg cholesterol; 16.5 g protein; 6.6 g carbohydrates; 1 g fiber; 172.4 mg sodium
