Frozen shrimps and prawns are shellfish. The figures here describe frozen products sampled from Chinese supermarkets. They mainly provide protein, with 17g per 100g, and contain 0.8g of fat. They also supply vitamins and minerals, including 3µg of vitamin B12 and 100µg of iodine per 100g. Carbohydrate and sugars are present only in trace amounts.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, while iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones. These products also contain salt, which is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
