Steamed or boiled, peeled. Shrimp is nearly pure protein — but breaded or sautéed-in-butter preparations change the picture fast.

How does shrimp fit your goals?

With 19.4g of protein per 3 oz (85g, cooked), shrimp is a workhorse for anyone tracking macros for weight loss or muscle gain. Protein is the most satiating macro and the hardest to over-eat by accident, which is why high-protein foods anchor most successful cutting and recomposition plans. A single serving covers roughly 13% of a 150g daily protein target — the kind of number that adds up quickly when you build meals around it.

Diet-wise, shrimp fits keto, low-carb, and high-protein eating patterns.

Micronutrients worth noting

Shrimp doesn't stand out on micronutrients at this serving size. Worth flagging on the other side of the ledger: a serving carries 35% of the daily sodium limit, which matters if you eat it often.
