Shrimp: A Staple of Mediterranean Cooking
A small but mighty crustacean, shrimp can be found in cuisines around the world. Mediterranean dwellers from Spain to Sicily have been fishing for shrimp for millenia, using them as a vital protein. Shrimp are high in protein and high in omega fatty acids, which makes them a key staple of the Mediterranean diet.
