Shrimps after surgery

Hi all hope all are well

i want to ask a question about prawns or shrimps. Is it good better than fish or chicken after gastric sleeve. I finishe my pured stage and i can eat regular food. Is it high in calories. Is it easliy eaten. I tries fish, but they were well done and i couldnt handle them. Any ideas how to cook the shrimps. Thank you for you help

Shrimp is just fine once you've progressed to solid food, just don't try to eat it when you're in the "mushy" or "puree" phase.

Like fish, a cooking method that keeps things moist is probably best, and make sure to stay away from butter sauce or fried shrimp. I like to get large frozen shrimp with the shell on and just boil them with seafood seasoning (I like "Old Bay" brand with extra garlic), then eat them plain.

I like to cook onions, fresh tomatoes and zucchini slices until soft, then add raw, unpeeled shrimp and cover for a few minutes until the shrimp are done.  I just add a little salt and some oregano.  I had it last night and this morning. Yum!

Ooooooh, this sounds AMAZING! I need to try this :)

I eat a lot of prawns with ****tail sauce. It's one of my go-to quick meals.  I buy the big bag of cooked/peeled shrimp at Costco and keep them in the freezer. I just pop a couple ounces (weighed) into a bowl with some water to defrost them and bam!  Dinner!

I eat shrimp quite a bit - low in fat and calories. I usually grill, but sometimes boil or eat as shrimp ****tail

Shrimp are fine once you're cleared for all foods.  And I suppose that if you're willing to puree them, they'd be fine for that stage as well!  It sounds more like you need to make your meats/seafood more moist right now.  My favorite sauce is salsa.  Cheap, low calorie, low fat, and adds some zing as well as moisture.

I love me some shrimp !!!

I am not a huge cook, but shrimp is super easy. I buy the medium sized that is already peeled. Spray a pan with Pam, toss in the shrimp and season with Adobe. You know they are done when the curl into the shape of a "C". Don't over cook them- they get a little funky in texture. I also drop them into broth soups. They are actually pretty low in calories and pack good protien- but a little hard on your cholesterol of that is a concern. 

Since you're having trouble with fish, I would suggest holding off on shrimp. The texture of cooked shrimp is a little chewier than most fish. Perhaps sea scallops or crab would be a better transition, although seafood of any type is inedible if overcooked.
