Relation between shrimp and cholesterol

In comparison to prawn shrimp are smaller in size, but you can serve shrimp either cold or hot, and the best part is you can eat shrimp at any given time in a year.

So what about shrimp and cholesterol that it may have? Shrimp definitely have cholesterol, in fact the amount of cholesterol that each shrimp have is considered high among any other seafood types.

Study revealed that for each ounce of shrimp likely to have 1 gram of fat and about 165 of cholesterol. Nevertheless, never get too much worry about this fact.
