Nutrient note: Shrimp contains loads of zinc, a mineral that is a component of insulin, which helps scoop up glucose from the bloodstream so it can be used for energy or stored; zinc also helps bolster the immune system, keeping us healthy all winter long.Note: To make a thinner sauce to serve over linguine instead of rice, increase chicken broth to 3/4 cup.
