While shrimp is high in cholesterol, research suggests that the cholesterol in the food we eat has little effect on the amount of cholesterol in our bodies. Shrimp is a low-calorie, low-fat (as in no fat!), high-protein food that also provides several micronutrients, like phosphorous, selenium, iodine and zinc. They even offer omega-3s and the antioxidant astaxanthin. Are Chickpeas Good for You? Chickpeas, aka garbanzo beans, are a type of legume—and like all legumes, they provide a wealth of nutrition. Chickpeas have an amazing combination of carbohydrates, plant protein, healthy fat and fiber. They also provide folate and iron. Tips from the Test Kitchen Why Is It Called Green Goddess Salad? The consensus is that the green goddess salad dressing was named after a popular 1920s play of the same name. The head chef at San Francisco's Palace Hotel, Philip Roemer, created the green-colored dressing for a starter salad in honor of the play's lead actor and hotel guest, George Arliss. The dressing is traditionally made with mayonnaise, sour cream and fresh green herbs. Our take on green goddess dressing is beautifully green and creamy with avocado, which is loaded with good-for-you fats. Can I Make the Dressing Ahead? You can make the dressing up to one day in advance. Prepare the recipe through Step 1. Cover and refrigerate the dressing in an airtight container. If you have leftover dressing, it's perfect as a dip for crudités, drizzling over veggie wrap sandwiches and steak salads, and marinating chicken with it. Can I Use Dried Herbs Instead of Fresh? Absolutely, but know that you'll only use one-third of the amount of dried herbs when substituting for fresh. So for every tablespoon of fresh herbs, you would use 1 teaspoon of dried.

For example, "21-25 count" means there will be 21 to 25 shrimp in a pound. Size names, such as "large" or "extra large," are not standardized, so to be sure you're getting the size you want, order by the count (or number) per pound.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
