Shrimp

Among the bounty of creatures living in the world’s oceans, shrimp are perhaps the most widely known marine crustacea. They are found all over the globe, and they are widely incorporated into the diets of the majority of cultures in existence.

Being an extremely versatile species, shrimp are able to thrive beneath the surface of any body of water as long as there is ample food. They can survive in both freshwater and saltwater conditions.

Shrimp are quite low in calories, providing only 84 calories in a 3-ounce (85-gram) serving, and does not contain any carbs. Approximately 90% of the calories in shrimp come from protein, and the rest come from fat.

Additionally, the same serving size provides more than 20 different vitamins and minerals, including 50% of your daily needs for selenium, a mineral that may help reduce inflammation and promote heart health.
