About Butterfly shrimp

Butterfly Shrimp is a seafood dish featuring shrimp that is split and flattened for even cooking. Often dredged in breadcrumbs or batter and fried, this preparation is popular in American and Asian cuisines. The shrimp itself is rich in lean protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals like selenium and phosphorus, which support a healthy metabolism and immune function. While shrimp is naturally low in calories and fat, frying adds extra fat and calories, making it less ideal for heart-healthy diets. Opting for baked or grilled versions can reduce the fat content while preserving its nutritional benefits. Butterfly Shrimp also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which promote brain and heart health. However, due to potential sodium levels from seasoning or batter, moderation is recommended for individuals watching their salt intake.
