Shrimp are small, sweet, briny shellfish that provide lean protein, vitamin B12, selenium, and iodine. Naturally higher in cholesterol than some other seafood.
Sold fresh, frozen, cooked, raw, and pre-seasoned. A common ingredient in stir-fries, pasta, and grilled dishes.
Restaurant and takeout shrimp are often marinated with garlic, salt, butter, or spicy sauces. Tail shells and leg fragments can irritate the mouth or gut if swallowed.
