A cooked weight instead of a shrimp count
Shrimp sizes vary, so weigh the cooked shrimp rather than relying on a count. Exclude shells and any other parts you will not eat.
These are plain cooked shrimp. Count breading, butter and sauce separately, or use an entry for the prepared dish.
Shrimp or cod?
Cooked shrimp has 24 g of protein and 99 calories per 100 g. Cooked Atlantic cod has 22.8 g of protein and 105 calories at the same weight. Neither reference includes breading or a sauce.
