Shrimp have a lot of cholesterol, but little fat. And since cholesterol by itself is better for you than cholesterol + saturated fat, then it's an ok splurge. However, you might want to rethink that thousand island dressing. That's a heart attack in a bottle.

Shrimp is very good for you. Yes, it does contain cholesterol, but it also has plenty of Omega-3...so studies have shown it will not increase your cholesterol levels. It is also a great source of iron.
You may want to rethink how you eat it...cocktail sauce is low in fat. Grilled shrimp is also good as long as you don't eat any creamy fattening sauces.

Yes-- but it should be noted that it's HIGH in cholesterol.
Here in the Baltimore region, the main way shrimp is served is steamed with Old Bay-- just like crabs.

Would the petty little busybody who found that objectionable care to explain why?
