Gorton’s Seafood Challenge: 20 products under 200 Calories Recipe Challenge. Plus, a Giveaway!

Did you know that shrimp are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which starve tumor cells and help fight cancer? Yes!

Recent studies show that eating 8 or 9 shrimp a day can help reduce breast cancer risk. I’ll take it! I could eat shrimp everyday in various ways. Whether it’s grilled, fried, baked, boiled, in salads — I’m all for eating shrimp any day.

I’m so glad that Gorton’s makes it extremely easy for busy parents like myself to have dinner on the table in minutes. After working an eight hour day the last thing I want to do is spend hours in the kitchen!

Gorton’s people have earned the respect of the consumer packaged foods industry by being innovation leaders in both new product development and operational productivity.

I’m also glad that I’m a part of Gorton’s Blogger Program where we get to try their new products and share our experience with you all.

Gorton’s gave bloggers the tools we needed to try some of their newest seafood products to whip up a recipe with what we enjoyed.

Since I just can’t enough of eating shrimp, the one I chose was the the new Skillet Crisp Seasoned Shrimp. I loved that the shrimp were lightly coated with the prefect amount of seasoning and that the tails were already removed. Having the tails removed is a huge time saver for me!

Gorton’s also sent us a few recipe cards to inspire us to create a recipe of our own.

I took the recipe for Mini Tostadas with Guacamole and Shrimp and recreated it to make a delicious appetizer for my family and I.

Gorton's Shrimp Recipe

I call them “Shrimp & Chips w/ Avocado, Beans & Cilantro.” It was quick, easy to make and tasty. All I did was take some scoop and dip tortilla chips, place a teaspoon of spicy refried beans on top of the chip, add a small avocado slice (seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, onion & garlic powder), add one shrimp on top of that and then garnish the appetizer with a cilantro leaf.

It was heaven in a single bite. My husband and son fell head over heels in love over them. I made 26 and we ate them all before the night was over. I’ll definitely make this quick and easy recipe again.
