Salty, but low in fat if cooked right.

As long as the shrimp is boiled or baked - not fried. The sause should also have a water base - instead of oil.
Generally chow mein is fairly healthy in itself. It is when you add all of the fried stuff that it becomes unhealthy.
I know this because I have to watch my oil / fat intake. I have heart problems - high blood pressure is one of them.

I don't think so. Honestly and as-a-matter-of-factly, have you ever seen a nutritional chart or table in Chinese restaurant for its menu.
