[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shrimp isn’t even that expensive compared to other animal proteins these days. We just perceive it to be because it was in the past.

I think the issue is you have a hungry growing teen and it sounds like you live in an “ingredients” house. He wants more shrimp because it’s already part of the nice hot cooked meal. He doesn’t want to be draining tuna cans! If you have meats/proteins prepped that he can just reheat, he will eat those. [/quote]

Where are you buying shrimp thay you don’t think it is expensive? It’s 10 times more expensive than lentils.

We are on a budget and with teenage boys we rarely served protein alone. Shrimp had to be mixed with pasta. But it’s not a great leftover food so I would pick something else [/quote]

I buy it at Costco and Trader Joe’s. Yes I know it’s more expensive than lentils, but I was comparing it to animal proteins (fish, meat, chicken breasts, etc). It’s definitely 10 times tastier than lentils…[/quote]

Shrimp is an animal protein, wth?[/quote]
