About Crustaceans, shrimp, farm raised, raw

Shrimp is one of the most popular shellfish in the world, and most of what reaches the average kitchen today is farm-raised rather than wild-caught. Raw, it has firm, slightly translucent grayish flesh that turns the familiar pink-and-white the moment it hits heat. It is sold fresh, but far more often frozen, which suits it well since it cooks through in just a couple of minutes.

Nutritionally, shrimp is lean and protein-dense: about 71 calories per 100 grams with close to 16 grams of protein and barely any fat or carbohydrate. It is a good source of selenium and vitamin B12, along with some zinc and iodine. The one number people often ask about is cholesterol — shrimp carries roughly 135 milligrams per 100 grams, which is high for a food this lean, though its very low saturated-fat content softens the practical impact for most people.

Sodium sits around 475 milligrams per 100 grams naturally, and shrimp sold pre-treated or "plumped" with a salt or phosphate solution can carry considerably more, so the label is worth a glance. Raw shrimp should be cooked through before eating, and like all shellfish it is a common allergen.
