Raw Vannamei shrimp is a lean protein source, offering 23.1 grams of protein per serving with minimal carbohydrates and no added sugars or fiber, making it a low-calorie option at 120 calories. However, its high sodium (170 mg) and cholesterol (170 mg) content suggest it may not be ideal for those managing heart health or sodium intake. The use of salt and sodium tripolyphosphate to retain moisture indicates this is a processed food, as it involves chemical additives to enhance shelf life or flavor. While shrimp is inherently a whole, minimally processed ingredient, the addition of these chemicals leans it toward being more processed. Due to its high sodium content, a healthier alternative would be fresh, wild-caught shrimp, which naturally contains fewer added chemicals and less sodium, making it a better choice for those seeking a nutrient-dense option.
