About Small shrimp
Small shrimp are a versatile and protein-rich seafood commonly featured in global cuisines, from Asian stir-fries to Mediterranean salads and Latin American ceviche. Typically low in calories, they are an excellent source of lean protein, providing essential amino acids important for muscle repair and growth. They are rich in nutrients like selenium, iodine, and vitamin B12, which support cognitive health and metabolism. Small shrimp also supply omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to heart health and reducing inflammation. While shrimp are naturally low in fat, some methods of preparation—such as frying or heavy sauces—can add unhealthy fats or excessive sodium. It's important to source shrimp responsibly, as some farming practices may involve environmental concerns. When cooked healthily, small shrimp can be a nutritious addition to a balanced diet, offering both flavor and essential nutrients.
