| Garlic-Sauteed Shrimp July, 2001 Serves 4 / I always keep some shrimp in my freezer—they are ideal for last-minute meals. Even better, shrimp, like other shellfish, are low in saturated fat. Most shrimp sold in stores have been "flash-frozen." If a shrimp is pink, it's been cooked, so it probably has lost most of its flavor. Look for gray or white raw shrimp. Serve this dish with noodles, steamed rice or as filling for roll-ups.
