About One shrimp
One shrimp is a small, nutrient-dense seafood option commonly enjoyed across a variety of global cuisines, from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean pastas. Shrimp are rich in lean protein, offering about 7 calories and 1 gram of protein per medium shrimp, making them a great choice for low-calorie, high-protein meals. They're an excellent source of selenium, vitamin B12, and iodine, nutrients essential for metabolic and thyroid health. Shrimp also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain function. However, shrimp are naturally high in cholesterol, so moderation is advised for individuals monitoring their cholesterol intake. Low in fat and carbs, shrimp are versatile and flavorful whether grilled, sautéed, or steamed. Wild-caught shrimp are typically considered the most sustainable choice. Healthy preparation methods, such as boiling or grilling without excessive butter or oil, enhance shrimp’s nutritional benefits while keeping meals light and delicious.
