Popcorn shrimp is a popular seafood dish originating from American cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or side. These small shrimp are battered and deep-fried until golden and crispy, creating bite-sized morsels that deliver a satisfying crunch with every bite. Typically seasoned with spices like paprika, garlic, and salt, the breading adds flavor while the shrimp are tender and light inside. While shrimp are naturally rich in lean protein, vitamin B12, and selenium, the deep-frying process increases their calorie and fat content, making them less healthy when consumed in excess. For a lighter alternative, some recipes employ baking or air-frying techniques. Popcorn shrimp pairs well with dipping sauces such as cocktail or tartar sauce, though these can also add extra fat and sodium. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent seafood favorite.
