Shrimp [from prawns to small shrimps]
Briefly, it is important to remember that they are crustaceans low in triglycerides but high in cholesterol and they also contain a small portion of available carbohydrates, which is why they are not recommended and included in all diets.
This applies to all species of shrimp [from prawns to small shrimps].
