Spicy Red Pepper Shrimp - A healthy dinner with just 5 ingredients and in less than 15 minutes! The quickest weeknight dinner recipe ever!

Lately, I have come to accept that no matter what I do, my life is going to be busy. Between television appearances, cooking demos, swim meets and school functions, I have had little to no time to cook. Actually, it is a bit of a miracle that my family gets fed well at all. ????

That is just one reason to love this easy recipe for spicy red pepper shrimp.

Seriously, how much easier could making dinner be than 5 ingredients and a cooking time of less than 15 minutes? Not only is it a quick and easy dinner to make, it’s healthy, too! Eating seafood twice a week is good for your heart and overall body health.

More great reasons to eat seafood:

  • There are hundreds of delicious seafood recipes that can be prepared in less than 15 minutes.
  • Canned and frozen seafood are inexpensive options for eating healthy on the go, and they substitute easily into meals for your family.
  • If you don’t know what fresh seafood to choose, ask the seafood provider at the grocery store. They know what’s fresh and in season – and how to cook it.
  • Seafood is easy to prepare in healthy ways, too. It can be baked, broiled, steamed, poached, and grilled.
  • If you think you don’t have enough time to prepare seafood, think about this: On average, frozen seafood thaws in about 5-10 minutes. You can even cook it while it’s still frozen!
  • I stock my pantry and freezer with canned and frozen options, because it’s inexpensive, easy, and always there when I want it.

Are you convinced yet?

Through the Seafood Nutrition Partnership, I took the Heart Healthy Pledge, committing to eat seafood twice a week for better heart health. I encourage you to take the pledge, too. Not just for your health, but because seafood is delicious!

Here’s another great reason to make my spicy red pepper shrimp recipe:

The Seafood Nutrition Partnership is promoting this year’s challenge in a bigger and better way than they did last year. They want you to take the #HeartHealthyPledge, and they’re offering a great recipe sweepstakes with it, too.

Use the #HealthyHeartPledge hashtag on social media to acknowledge that you’re taking the Healthy Heart Pledge. That means you recognize seafood is a healthy choice for you and your family. You’ll pledge to eat at least two servings of seafood each week, and supplement with omega-3s.

Then, take a photo of a seafood dish that you prepared that has 5 ingredients or less (spices don’t count), and post it on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtags #HeartHealthyPledge and #SNPSweepstakes. The Seafood Nutrition Partnership will randomly select ten (10) winners, who will each get a $250 gift card!

You can submit one entry per day, from now until the end of October. The winners will be announced at www.SNPSweepstakes.com and on Instagram and Twitter.

You can learn more about the Healthy Heart Pledge and sign up for a newsletter for information to help you eat more sustainable seafood on the SNP website.
