White Shrimp, Raw
White shrimp are a species of wild-caught or farm-raised crustacean (Litopenaeus setiferus) native to the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, prized for their sweet, mild flavor and firm texture. This lean seafood provides 20g of protein per 3-ounce serving with minimal fat, though it contains higher cholesterol levels than most fish. The raw shrimp’s translucent gray flesh turns opaque white when cooked, making it versatile for quick preparations like grilling, sautéing, or boiling in under 5 minutes.
