Frozen shrimp are a convenient and versatile seafood option, popular in a variety of global cuisines, from Thai curries to Italian pasta dishes. Typically harvested and flash-frozen shortly after catch, shrimp retain their nutrients and freshness without added preservatives. They are an excellent source of lean protein, low in calories, and provide essential nutrients such as selenium, iodine, and vitamin B12, supporting thyroid function and overall health. However, some frozen shrimp may contain added sodium or phosphates during processing to enhance texture and flavor, which might be a concern for those monitoring their sodium intake. Shrimp are naturally low in fat but may become less healthy when fried or served with heavy, high-calorie sauces. Choose plain, sustainably sourced frozen shrimp for a nutrient-packed addition to salads, stir-fries, or grilled entrées. Always check packaging for quality certifications and ingredient transparency.
