What's in it
Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.
Steps
- 01Simmer 2 peeled, deveined shrimp until opaque and cooked through.
- 02Blend the shrimp with 2 tbsp steamed peas and 3 tbsp cooked rice.
- 03Loosen with cooking water until smooth — whole shrimp is too chewy to serve alone.
- 04Serve warm on a spoon; from 9 months, leave it slightly thicker for scooping.
Why it works
Blending shrimp into a mild pea-rice purée turns a rubbery, hard-to-chew food into a safe early shellfish exposure — one of the allergens most worth introducing and repeating.
Storage
Keeps 24 hours in the fridge or 1 month frozen; reheat to steaming, stir, and cool.
