Ingredients

For the Firecracker Sauce:
  • ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
For the Shrimp:
  • 1 pound (21-25 per pound) Southstream’s raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional Garnishes:
  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Firecracker Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Season and Coat the Shrimp: Season shrimp with salt & pepper to taste. Whisk the flour and cornstarch together in a small bowl, then coat the shrimp in this mixture.
  3. Fry the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to just cover the surface. Beat the egg in a small bowl, then dip each shrimp in the egg to coat well. Once the oil is shimmering, transfer shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate lined with a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
  4. Coat the Shrimp in Sauce: Carefully wipe out the hot skillet, then place it back over medium-high heat. Pour the firecracker sauce into the skillet and bring it to a boil. Add the shrimp back into the skillet and fold with a spatula to thoroughly coat with the sauce. Season with a bit more salt and/or pepper, if needed.
  5. Serve: Serve firecracker shrimp immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped chives if desired. Enjoy over white rice or cilantro lime rice, with a side of super greens.

Sustainable seafood means that fish are harvested responsibly, allowing populations to replenish naturally. At Southstream, our products are sourced from fisheries committed to preserving marine ecosystems. Additionally, these practices ensure that fisheries remain healthy and abundant for future generations. By introducing sustainable seafood, healthcare facilities, food distributors, and restaurants can support responsible sourcing while offering healthy dishes.

2. The Nutritional Benefits of Seafood

Seafood, like our premium Cape hake fillets, is packed with essential nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for heart, brain, and immune system health. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that people six months and older should incorporate seafood into their diet. However, nearly 90% of Americans fall short of this recommendation. At Southstream, we help bridge that gap by supplying high-quality seafood products, making it easy to create delicious meals that meet dietary needs.

3. Exploring Global Seafood Delights

How Seafood Dramatically Reduces Preterm Births: Unlock the Power of Omega-3s

How Seafood Dramatically Reduces Preterm Births: Unlock the Power of Omega-3s

BySouthstream Seafood
Source: Openblue.

A recent comprehensive study has highlighted the significant impact of omega-3s, particularly DHA and EPA, found in seafood, in reducing preterm births. The study revealed that women with low DHA levels at the start experienced a 66% reduction in preterm births after increasing their intake of these essential fatty acids.

Preterm birth, the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States, has seen a concerning rise, with the rate reaching 10.4% in 2021. The disparity is especially alarming for Black women, who have a 55% higher preterm birth rate than white women.

Dr. Susan Carlson, a member of the SNP Science Nutrition Advisory Council (SNAC), and Dr. Irene Cetin, along with 24 international authors, developed new Clinical Practice Guidelines focused on Omega-3 intake to mitigate preterm birth risks. Supported by seven pediatric, obstetric, and child health organizations, their conclusions emphasize the importance of omega-3 fatty acids for women of childbearing age.

The guidelines recommend that women prioritize regular omega-3 consumption, whether through fish, oily fish, or supplements containing DHA and EPA. Research confirms that intakes of up to 1,000 mg of DHA + EPA during pregnancy are both safe and beneficial. The recommended intake levels can vary depending on the individual’s DHA levels at the start of pregnancy.

Infographic designed by DSM.

Dr. Carlson stresses that lower fish consumption and decreased omega-3 fatty acid levels in the blood are associated with a higher risk of preterm births, particularly those occurring before 34 weeks of gestation. This research underscores the vital role omega-3s play not only in supporting heart, immune, and mental health but also in reducing the risk of preterm births. By increasing omega-3 intake among pregnant women, the U.S. could save over $8 billion in healthcare costs related to preterm births.

The Magnesium Benefits of Eating Seafood You Need to Know

The Magnesium Benefits of Eating Seafood You Need to Know

BySouthstream Seafood

From heart-healthy omega-3s to a variety of essential vitamins and minerals, seafood provides nutrients that are important for all life-stages. And speaking of minerals in seafood, we’re focusing on one trace mineral that has a big impact in the body: magnesium.

Magnesium is a trace mineral, which means we don’t need large amounts of it. And you may be surprised to discover that magnesium is needed for more than 600 reactions in the body! Some of these roles include maintaining proper nerve and muscle function, assisting with DNA production, supporting a steady heartbeat, managing blood glucose, keeping bones strong and so much more. 

Additionally, magnesium is an electrolyte that works in tandem with calcium, potassium and sodium to help keep our hearts ticking seamlessly and our blood pressure in check. High or low levels of any of these will likely raise or lower other electrolytes. In fact, severe magnesium deficiency can cause hypocalcemia (low calcium) or hypokalemia (low potassium) levels.

Incorporating a variety of magnesium-rich foods like seafood, seeds, and nuts into the diet can provide these essential health benefits. For a more detailed exploration of the magnesium benefits of seafood, you can read the full article here.
