About Shrimp half cup

Shrimp Half Cup is a delightful portion of these small crustaceans, commonly featured in global cuisines such as Mediterranean, Asian, and Cajun. Packed with high-quality protein, shrimp is low in calories and virtually carb-free, making it an excellent option for those seeking lean sources of nutrition. It is rich in vital nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and key antioxidants, supporting immune health and energy production. However, shrimp contains cholesterol, so individuals monitoring their dietary cholesterol may want to enjoy it in moderation. Often paired with bold seasonings, fresh herbs, or citrus flavors, Shrimp Half Cup provides a versatile base for a variety of dishes. While inherently nutritious, preparation methods like frying or heavy butter sauces can add unhealthy fats, so grilling, steaming, or boiling are recommended for a lighter option. This serving size balances portion control with the deliciousness of shrimp's tender, juicy texture.
