Measuring shrimp
Raw and cooked shrimp are separate USDA records with different values per hundred grams: raw is 85 kcal and cooked is 99 kcal, and cooked shrimp holds less water per gram. The records are USDA Crustaceans, shrimp, raw and Crustaceans, shrimp, cooked. USDA lists the tail and shell as refuse for both, so the figures are for the meat. Weight on a pack of shell-on shrimp includes shells and tails you do not eat. Breaded or fried shrimp, canned shrimp and shrimp in sauce are not covered. The small, medium and large portion rows are Remembite typical-serving estimates (a medium portion assumes 140 g), not USDA values.
Common questions
How many calories in shrimp?
It depends on the state. Raw shrimp is 85 kcal per hundred grams and cooked shrimp is 99. Weigh the shrimp and say which state you weighed.
How many calories in 10 cooked shrimp?
USDA has no per-shrimp row, so a count of shrimp has no fixed weight here. Weigh the shrimp and scale the cooked figure of 99 kcal per hundred grams. The USDA ounce row is 28 g and 28 kcal.
Do shrimp calories include the shell?
No. USDA lists the tail and shell as refuse for both shrimp records, so the calories are for the meat. Weigh shrimp after you peel them, not in the pack.
