About Peppered shrimp

Peppered Shrimp is a flavorful seafood dish rooted in coastal cuisines, particularly Caribbean and Southern regions. Known for its bold, spicy kick, it features plump shrimp sautéed with cracked black pepper, garlic, onions, and a blend of vibrant seasonings such as paprika, cayenne, and thyme. Sometimes served with rice, grilled vegetables, or a citrus marinade, this dish offers a protein-rich source with essential vitamins like B12 and selenium, which support metabolic health and immunity. The shrimp provides lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health and muscle recovery. However, depending on preparation, Peppered Shrimp may be high in sodium or include added fats from butter or oil-heavy cooking methods. This dish is a tasty option for seafood lovers, but balancing portion sizes and accompanying it with nutrient-dense sides ensures a healthy and satisfying meal.
