Is shrimp healthy?
Yes. On its nutrient profile, shrimp is a healthy choice: grade A on the open 2023 Nutri-Score algorithm, the top grade.
For
- Omega-3: about 380 mg of EPA and DHA per serving, against an adequate intake of 250 mg a day (EFSA).
- Protein: 24 g per serving — 43% of the 56 g daily reference for a 70 kg (154 lb) adult.
Against
- Salt: 1.4 g per serving — 28% of the 5 g a day the WHO sets as the maximum.
A typical serving is 120 g: 114 kcal, 24 g protein, 1.4 g fat and 0.2 g carbs. Other weights in the table.
How we judge this, and the sources
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on November 1, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.

*Where the vitamin numbers come from
Vitamins and minerals come from the USDA FoodData Central record “Crustaceans, shrimp, cooked” (FDC ID 175180, SR Legacy; public domain), checked October 14, 2026; the record was matched to this food by calories, protein and fat. % DV is per serving, against the FDA Daily Values used on Nutrition Facts labels (2,000-calorie diet). The table lists nutrients that reach at least 2% DV per 100 g; the rest are absent or trace. Varieties, seasons and brands differ, and cooking in water leaches some vitamin C and B vitamins.

How we count
Dishes are estimated from typical restaurant and home recipes — a specific kitchen will differ.
How much movement is one serving?
A 120 g serving is 114 kcal — roughly 37 min of easy walking or 14 min of cycling for a 70 kg (154 lb) person. In the diary, minutes are worked out for your weight and the activities you actually do.
Shrimp: swaps and alternatives
No need to swap: shrimp already gets grade A, the top of the scale, and nothing is in the red on the per-100 g traffic light: sugar 0 g (red is over 22.5 g), saturated fat 0.3 g (over 5 g) and salt 1.2 g (over 1.5 g). We only suggest a swap when it fixes a real problem. How we pick swaps.
What to pair shrimp with
A serving of shrimp has no fiber (the WHO suggests at least 25 g a day); that's easy to make up on the same plate:
- Broccoli, 150 g — +4.9 g fiber, 53 kcal.
Equally good alternatives
Same food group and the same place on the plate, with a Nutri-Score grade at least as good. Figures are for 120 g, a typical serving of shrimp.
