Whole Foods has a nationwide sale today, Friday October 14th 2011, on raw, wild, 26/30 Wild Atlantic White Shrimp. They are just $7.99/pound in the seafood department at all Whole Foods Market stores throughout the U.S. – Today ONLY! But don’t worry, if you are reading this later, we have some timeless dairy-free recipes to share with you regardless, so read on …
As for the Whole Foods shrimp, they are sweet and tender Georgia whites, caught by U.S. shrimpers at the peak of season and frozen within hours of catching to lock in their freshness. They are of course, sulfite-free. According to Whole Foods, shell-on white shrimp make the perfect fall meal – simply sauté, broil, bake, grill, or stir-fry. These also make a simple, low-fat supper when boiled and served with cocktail sauce and a side salad.
Whether you catch the sale or not, below is a simple and nutritious Miso Soup with Shrimp recipe, plus some more inspirational dairy-free shrimp recipes:
