Shrimp calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of shrimp contains 99 calories, with 24 g of protein, 0.2 g of carbohydrate and 0.3 g of fat. Most of its calories come from protein.
Prawns are nearly pure protein in a shell: almost no fat, almost no carbohydrate, and quick to cook. That is why they take butter and garlic so well — the frying fat, not the prawn, is where most dishes earn their calories. Log the cooking fat separately and honestly.
