16 Recipes for the Perfect Shrimp Dinner

Shrimp is not only a savory seafood to please most any palate, it's also a Vitamin D powerhouse.

Vitamin D is not easy to get in measurable amounts in foods, but shrimp has about 30 percent of the daily recommended allowance in about three ounces – much more than a cup of milk with less fat. Shrimp also contains omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C, along with other nutrients essential for vibrant health, including iron and vitamin B12.
