  
Cookbook author Bruce Weinstein shows us how to make a delicious meal from his new book, "The Ultimate Shrimp Book."
When people cook shrimp, he says, the biggest mistake they make is cooking them too long. Most people overcook them, and the shrimp tastes like rubber. Shrimp should only take two to three minutes to cook.
According to Weinstein, shrimp is the world's most popular fresh seafood, and only canned tuna tops shrimp in popularity. The chef says that, whil it is trye that shrimp is high in cholesterol, it actually contributes to better ratios between LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and HDL ("good" cholesterol). He also says that shrimp lowers triglycerides in the blood.
