About Medium shrimp
Medium shrimp are a versatile seafood option, commonly featured in global cuisines such as Mediterranean, Asian, and Caribbean dishes. These crustaceans are prized for their delicate flavor and tender texture. A serving of medium shrimp is low in calories and fat, providing an excellent source of lean protein. They are also rich in essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and iodine, which support immune function and thyroid health. Shrimp contain omega-3 fatty acids that promote heart health, alongside antioxidants such as astaxanthin that may reduce inflammation. However, they are naturally high in cholesterol, which may be a consideration for those monitoring their intake. Additionally, the healthfulness of shrimp depends on preparation—boiled or grilled options are healthier than fried varieties. Look for sustainably sourced shrimp to ensure environmental responsibility while enjoying this nutritious seafood.
