Are There Carbs in Shrimp?

This is one of the most commonly questions and there’s great news for anyone following Keto or a low carb diet. Shrimp only contain a trace amount of carbohydrates per serving.

Are Shrimp Keto Friendly?

Shrimp are a very nutritious option for those on Keto or a low carb diet. For 6 ounces there are 34 grams of protein in shrimp, approximately 1 gram of carbs and zero sugars. This makes shrimp a perfect source of protein while keeping your carb intake to a minimum.

Helpful Tips on Buying Shrimp:

• Look for fresh, domestic, wild-caught shrimp when available.
• If you have to buy frozen, look at the ingredients. It should just say, “shrimp and water.”
• Select the size shrimp based on your recipe. The size determines the cooking times.
• To make Keto shrimp recipes in a jiffy, select shrimp that have are already peeled and deveined. If you can’t find them already peeled, look for ones that have been split down the spine. This makes peeling so much easier.
• Don’t be afraid to ask to touch and smell the shrimp at your grocery store or fish market. You want to avoid shrimp with a strong “shrimpy,” or ammonia-like smell or those with a slimy or soft texture
