When it comes to shrimp scampi and high blood pressure, it's best to enjoy it in moderation. Shrimp can be high in cholesterol, and scampi recipes often include butter and salt, which may not be ideal for heart health. Try using less butter, cutting back on salt, and opting for heart-healthy oils like olive oil. Adding more veggies can also make it a lighter dish!

When it comes to shrimp scampi and high blood pressure, it’s best to enjoy it in moderation. The dish can be high in sodium due to the butter and seasoning, which isn't great for blood pressure. You can try making a healthier version with less salt and using olive oil instead of butter. Always good to check with your doctor, but a lighter, homemade version might be a nice compromise.
