About Shrimp Meat
High protein and low fat, good as a light-meat reference.
Health Benefits of Shrimp Meat
A benchmark low-fat seafood
100g of shrimp meat has 16.8g protein and just 0.6g fat, 87 kcal - an outstanding protein-to-calorie ratio among seafood. Nearly free of saturated fat, it suits fat-loss and high-protein diets.
Contains selenium and astaxanthin
Rich in selenium and astaxanthin, a carotenoid antioxidant that also turns shrimp red when cooked. Astaxanthin has strong antioxidant effects for skin and anti-inflammatory support.
Quick cooking
Cook quickly - blanch in boiling water ~30s or high-heat stir-fry 1-2 min; overcooking turns them tough. Great in stir-fries, steamed eggs, salads and pasta, paired with broccoli, asparagus or tomato.
