Preparation
99 kcal per 100 g cooked against 85 raw: a 16% rise, all of it water leaving, since there is essentially no fat in a shrimp to render. Twenty-four grams of protein per 100 g at 99 kcal works out to 24 g per 100 kcal, the best ratio anywhere on this site. Boiled or steamed, that is the whole story; fried, it is the beginning of one.
Logging this food
A 3 oz portion is 85 g cooked and 84 kcal. Cooked shrimp are usually bought ready-peeled and can be weighed straight from the bag, which makes this the easier of the two rows to use. Cocktail sauce, garlic butter and tempura are each larger than the shrimp they come with — log them separately or the total will be wrong by more than it is right.
Swaps and alternatives
Cooked cod is 105 kcal per 100 g, cooked wild salmon 182. Against poultry, roasted skinless chicken breast is 165 with less protein per calorie. If a meal is built to maximise protein and minimise everything else, cooked shrimp is the highest point on this site.
