Now that the holidays are over and eating copious amounts of food with family and friends are behind us… at least for a while. I am starting the new year thinking healthy. I turn to simple foods and pure ingredients. My go-to dish is my Spicy Chile-Garlic Shrimp.

The key ingredient in the recipe is the olive oil. I gravitate towards using olive oil versus heavy sauces because it enhances the taste of food but never changes it. It also has many health benefits:
- Reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke by 30%.
- Help control blood and sugar levels.
- Assist in managing weight.
- Improve mood swings.
- Decrease mental fatigue.
I used an Extra Virgin Olive Oil specifically from Spain. It’s made when the olives have reached optimum ripeness and comes in pure 100% olive juice providing natural antioxidants such as Olive Oil polyphenols and vitamin E.

With that said, I was excited to hear about the “Olive Oil World Tour”. Olive Oils from Spain and the EU have joined their efforts to promote and bring the European healthy lifestyle throughout all parts of the world. “Let’s make a tastier world “ is their mission. They want to encourage foodies to live a healthy lifestyle with a top notch product. Olive Oil is a fundamental part of the Mediterranean Diet and an important part of the European culture.
