What makes shrimp so powerful?

Shrimp is one of the leanest high-protein foods: about 20 g protein for roughly 100 calories per 100 g, with almost no carbohydrate. It contains dietary cholesterol, but very little saturated fat, which is the larger lever for blood cholesterol for most people. The calories rise when it is breaded, fried or sautéed in butter, so the preparation matters more than the shrimp. It cooks in two to three minutes and is done when the flesh turns opaque and the shell pink.
