Shrimp in recent years have become an increasingly popular product. If before they were a real delicacy, now they are in any supermarket and at a very affordable price. Many people like the unusual taste of shrimp, while others appreciate them for their beneficial properties and nutrition.
Shrimp meat contains a large amount of protein, but there is little fat in them. Shrimp fatty acids help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Shrimp also has a lot of calcium, thanks to which teeth, nails and hair are strengthened; iodine to maintain thyroid function; potassium, which strengthens blood vessels and the nervous system; zinc, due to which wounds heal better and hair is strengthened. Of the vitamins, shrimp boasts vitamin E.
Regular consumption of shrimp contributes to the overall strengthening of the body and increase immunity. It is especially useful for people who often have colds and allergies.
So, shrimp is very healthy and tasty, which is why there are many dishes that are prepared with shrimp. Let's start with salads.
