Shrimp are a great food to include in your diet.
They're not only high in protein but also low in calories, carbs and fat. Three ounces (85 grams) of shrimp contain 17 grams of protein and only 90 calories (11).
Shrimp are rich in vitamin D, niacin and vitamin B12. They also contain iron, phosphorus, copper and selenium (11).
What's more, shrimp contain antioxidants such as astaxanthin, which reduces inflammation and oxidative damage.
