Benefits & Facts

Benefits:

Shrimp are low in calories

One medium shrimp equals about 7 calories, which means a dozen add up to less than 85 calorie – roughly 15 less than a 3-ounce chicken breast. One jumbo shrimp contains about 14 calories and a teaspoon of cocktail sauce provides 5, so 3 jumbo shrimp, each with a teaspoon of cocktail sauce add up to less than 60 calories.

Shrimp are protein-rich

Shrimp are primarily made of protein and water. Three ounces of baked or broiled shrimp provide 20 grams of protein and each jumbo shrimp provides about 3 grams with very little fat and carbohydrates.

Shrimp provide many key nutrients

Shrimp provide a pretty impressive array of nutrients. For example, four ounces of steamed shrimp contain over 100% of the Daily Value of selenium, over 75% vitamin B12 and over 50% of phosphorous. Shrimp also contain two types of important antioxidants - selenium, an important antioxidant that helps fight free radicals, and astaxanthin which is shown to help reduce inflammation – a known trigger of aging and disease.

We flash freeze for freshness. Nothing beats the taste of fresh seafood pulled right from the water but after a few days it begins to lose its freshness and flavor quality. However, seafood that is flash-frozen (using special equipment that freezes the seafood within minutes) stops the breakdown process. It can then retain its right from the water taste for months without loosing the flavor or freshness.
