About Shrimps
Shrimps are small, shellfish species that are popular globally in seafood cuisine due to their mild, slightly sweet flavor and adaptability in recipes. Originating from both freshwater and saltwater habitats, shrimps are widely incorporated into dishes ranging from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean pastas. They are a fantastic source of lean protein, vital vitamins like B12, and minerals such as selenium and iodine, which support thyroid and immune function. Shrimps are also low in calories and fat, making them a heart-healthy choice for many. However, they contain dietary cholesterol, so moderation is advised for individuals managing cholesterol levels. Additionally, their high omega-3 fatty acid content contributes to brain health and inflammation reduction. When prepared in healthy ways such as grilling, steaming, or boiling, shrimps can be a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. Avoid breaded or fried versions to maintain their health benefits.
