Question

I just had a plate full of shrimp, it was delicious. Can anyone tell me what shrimp are rich in? Like what kind of nutrients can you get out of them. Thanks.



-extra input would be appreciated.

Answer 1

3oz:

25 grams of protein
1 gram of carbohydates
1 gram of total fat
90 to 150 milligrams of cholesterol
90 to 100 calories

They are low in saturated fat and rich in vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and D. It is proven to help reduce the risk of heart desease. Shrimps is a good source of selenium and tryptophan which induces DNA repair and blocks the production of cancer cells. Just a few to mention.

So have a nice meal then.

Answer 2

If you like Shrimps, is good to have it few times in a month, not so nutritional as the deep see fish, If you are concern about cholesterol in shrimps just before cooking take the shell off the shrimps, cooking without the shell you get 95% cholesterol free shrimps...

Answer 3

Straight Up Protein, Good High Quality Protein
And Seafood Is Always Good For You

Answer 4

Cholesterol, actually - they're somethihng to avoid if yours is too high :( They ARE awesome, aren't they? I worked for a seafood publishing house, and shrimp were one of the things we had to caution against - they're not so great on omega-3s, and a serving's got something like 70% of your cholesterol DV. We still encourage folks to eat them! Just not all the time.

Sorry, I don't want to turn you off shrimp! And certainly not seafood!! If you can, though - it's hard to beat wild salmon for nutrients :) Highest in omega-3s, and mercury-free.
