Shrimp, called prawns in much of the world, gets nearly all of its calories from protein: about 24 g per 100 g, with well under 1 g of fat when boiled or steamed. It cooks in minutes, which suits stir-fries, curries and salads. Breaded, fried or butter-garlic preparations add considerably more, so plain grilled or poached shrimp stays closest to these values.
Typical portion: An 85 g serving of cooked shrimp comes to roughly 85 kcal and 20 g of protein.
