Shrimps, boiled, weighed with shells

Shrimps are shellfish, and the figures here describe boiled shrimps weighed with their shells. Per 100g, they provide 7.9g of protein, 0.8g of fat, 3.2g of salt and 110mg of calcium. Protein is their main source of energy, with only trace amounts of carbohydrate. These values are based on the weight including shells, rather than the weight of peeled shrimp meat.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The salt content is high, which is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
