Easy Shrimp Enchiladas
When I need a quick go to Mexican recipe this is always my first choice. It is everything a good shrimp enchilada should be. I have found a new tortilla shell that is both corn and flour that I love using when I can find them. Otherwise I would use flour tortillas. The lower fat version of this recipe is awesome, no one will even know if you don’t tell them!
For this recipe, I’m excited to partner with Seafood Nutrition Partnership to show you how easy it is to cook with seafood! They are working to address America’s Health Crisis through promoting a seafood rich diet.
Seafood Nutrition Partnership is also hosting the Healthy Heart Pledge.In case you’re not familiar, the Healthy Heart Pledge is a promise to yourself and your family to eat at least two servings of seafood each week while supplementing your diet with omega-3s, as recommended by the USDA HHS Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Making this change to your diet improves your overall health and reduces your risks of heart disease. Seafood is one of the leanest proteins available and is beneficial to both brain and heart health. I signed up, will you?
Some quick facts about the benefits of eating seafood.
Did you know that eating seafood twice a week can support your heart and brain health? Eating seafood two to three times per week reduces the risk of death from any health-related cause by 17%. Eating fish literally saves lives. An estimated 50,000 deaths from heart disease and stroke are avoided per year by eating fish. Seafood is high in healthy fats known as omega-3s, which are essential for heart health and brain health.
