The word shrimp comes from the Middle English, "shrimpe," meaning "pygmy." While shrimp may be small, they are anything but shrimp-y in their nutrition profile. Low in calories and saturated fat, shrimp are a wonderfully nutritious alternative to meat proteins. Shrimp also offer beneficial doses of omega-3 fatty acids, which improve heart health, offer protection against Alzheimer's and may improve mood and reduce depression. Shrimp also provides great sources of vitamins and minerals including vitamin B12, niacin, iron, selenium, zinc and copper.
