SHRIMP ...A great source of protein, and a low-calorie one at that. PLUSVitamin D as well.

One small 3-ounce serving has 17 g of protein and only 90 calories. Shrimp have all nine essential amino acids, plus small to moderate amounts of nine important minerals. They're relatively high in the important trace mineral selenium, with one 3-ounce serving providing 46 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin D.
I happen to think the Daily Value (400 IUs) for vitamin D is way too low,but 3 ounces of shrimp gives you 129 IUs of this cnacerfighting, bone-building vitamin, whose true value is onlynow beginning to be appreciated.



I'm sure there are some shrimp lovers in here...image image
