What it is

Shrimp are small, decapod crustaceans found in marine and freshwater environments worldwide. They are typically caught by commercial fishing or farmed. Cooked shrimp are prepared by boiling, steaming, or sautéing, and are often peeled and deveined before use.

Cooked shrimp are used as a protein source in a wide variety of dishes, adding a seafood flavor and texture. They are commonly found in salads, pasta dishes, stir-fries, fried rice, and appetizers.

Health notes

Shrimp are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are generally considered safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like the FDA have not set specific upper intake limits for shrimp consumption. Concerns about cholesterol content have been noted, but current research suggests dietary cholesterol has less impact on blood cholesterol for most people than previously thought.
