The shrimp was pre-cooked. I just defrosted it by cooking it in sea salted water--then drained it/rinsed it. Actually, it was cold when I used it. It was leftover from the day before. Often, I have days where I cook something and then just feel like something different! Warped, I know--and totally childish and picky. I just removed all the tails to have them ready for something.
Shrimp are awesome. They are so fast and so delicate/fluffy. Rotf--babyfood shrimp. Egg whites are really neat adhesives for things and even flavour enhancers. Actually, a lot of babyfood meat or veggie recipes use egg yolks, but that's not really a great thing for most IBS'ers.
Actually, even egg whites cooked as a big crepe or pancake are great for presentation/flavour.
I just could not get over how decadent it was.
I suppose (and I will try this in the future) that leftover baked/grilled/broiled shrimp with butter flavoured spray and some sort of funky seasoning would be yummy this way.
Without the egg whites, the food processed shrimp are rather like confetti--really fluffy, like snowflakes.
Shrimp are a good thing! Fast. And so...satisfying. They are great on they're own. They compliment so many other things so well. And, THEY'RE LOW CALORIE.
Actually, the fluffy shrimp would be a topping for a lot of things. Spaghetti squash comes to mind. An egg white frittata? Definitely a souffle!
