Nutrition data and methodology
Nutrition values are based on Fineli European food-composition data for raw shrimp. Fineli reports approximately 14 g of protein and 66 kcal per 100 g.
All serving and protein-target values on this page are calculated from that same 100 g raw-shrimp basis. Cooked shrimp may have different values per 100 g because cooking changes water content.
Shrimp naturally varies by species and processing, so the values shown are practical estimates for generic raw shrimp rather than exact values for every product.
