Good to Know
A 3 oz portion (about 12 of them) gives you 18 g of protein for just 84 calories, which makes it one of the leanest proteins you can keep on hand. Skip anything labeled breaded, popcorn, or coconut style, since the coating adds several grams of carbs per serving that the plain version doesn't have. Watch the precooked cocktail trays too, because the dipping sauce is usually loaded with sugar; reach for the frozen raw or plain cooked bags from a brand like SeaPak or your store's seafood freezer instead.
Is Shrimp (Large, Cooked) Keto? The Full Answer
Shrimp contains 0.90g net carbs per 3 oz (about 12) (0.90g total carbs minus 0.00g fiber). Very lean, so add butter or olive oil to hit fat targets.
On a standard ketogenic diet, most people target 20-25g net carbs per day. A single serving uses 5% of a 20g daily carb limit. That makes Shrimp a reliable keto staple.
