Using this food reference
These shrimp were cooked with moist heat. The USDA description notes that additives to retain moisture may be present, so this is a reference record rather than a guarantee for every package.
Use edible shrimp meat for the gram comparison rather than shells or cooking liquid. Breaded fried shrimp and shrimp served in butter need different entries or separately logged ingredients.
Match the food before using the numbers
The selected USDA description is Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture). Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
