Health benefits of Mexican Seafood Cocktail

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1/4 cup cilantro
1 lemon juice
3/4 cup scallops
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 cup cubed avocado
1/2 cup pared, chopped cucumber
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 cups water
7 medium shrimp
1/2 cup tomato sauce

Instructions

1. Thaw seafood. Bring water to boil (enough to go about 1/4" above the seafood).

2. Add the seafood. Cook until done (about 7 minutes).

3. Add no salt tomato sauce to the water. Add cayenne and cumin.

4. Put seafood in a bowl with as much of the broth as you want and add the cucumber, cilantro, avocado (optional), onion and cucumber.

5. Eat and enjoy!

6. Note: you can use only shrimp if you like (that would bring down the calories).
