About Shrimp
Shrimp are small, nutrient-packed shellfish widely enjoyed in cuisines around the world, from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean pastas. Low in calories and high in protein, shrimp are an excellent source of essential nutrients like vitamin B12, iodine, and antioxidants such as astaxanthin. They are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. While naturally low in fat, shrimp are relatively high in cholesterol, though studies suggest that their cholesterol content has minimal impact on heart health for most people. Versatile and quick to cook, shrimp offer a lean, nutritious option for meals. However, preparation methods like deep-frying or heavy butter sauces can add calories and negate some of their health benefits, so lean cooking methods like grilling, steaming, or sautéing are recommended. Sustainable sourcing is also important, as shrimp farming practices vary globally.
