orange garlic shrimp
Every Friday I have lunch with my husband.  After being together for 12 years, I still get giddy going out with him.  Sometimes we try out a new restaurant and sometimes I make lunch.  Cooking on Friday’s is my moment to make something special for both of us that is not kid friendly. This time I came up with a yummy Orange Garlic Shrimp with Green Beans & Arugula.  Please note that this sauce is so finger licking good that you do not need to add additional dressing.

orange garlic sustainable shrimp with arugula

One of my favorite greens is arugula.  It has a peppery flavor that is so distinctive.  It is super easy to grow.  It is one of those greens that just keeps growing and growing after every harvest except unless you forget to water it, like me!!!  I am one of those people that does a great job at getting a garden started, but not so good at maintaining it, thank GOD my husband likes to water plants!!!

In this recipe I used sustainable shrimp.  Oh yes, I said the word not many of us want to hear…SUSTAINABLE.  That means selecting seafood that is healthy for you and the environment.  My husband made a transformation in his consumption of seafood after hearing a TED talk by Sylvia Earl which you can view HERE.  She is an oceanographer who’s wish is to protect the blue heart of our planet, the ocean.

What are the benefits of choosing sustainable seafood?  Certain seafood can have high amounts of mercury and PCBs and some varieties of seafood have been over fished or caught in ways that can cause MAJOR damage to our marine life and oceans.   So I did my research and posted below a snapshot from the Monterey Bay Aquarium on the best choices for sustainable shrimp.   A few tips on selecting sustainable seafood in general are to select small fish (sardines, mackeral, squid, oyster, mussels) because they contain less mercury, buy wild caught, buy American, eat local and buy from trusted retailers that have higher standards.  You can find out more detailed information about sustainable seafood at www.nrdc.org and you can download an APP at Monterey Bay Aquarium for updated info.
