In addition to being heart-healthy, there are plenty of other reasons to enjoy shrimp in your diet. According to The Healthy, a three-ounce serving provides a whopping 20 grams of protein, which is about 40% of your recommended daily value. Shrimp also contains a variety of nutrients including iodine, phosphorus, zinc, and magnesium. It also contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin which may reduce the risk of some diseases. "Anti-inflammatory properties of astaxanthin have also been shown to help with diabetes, gastrointestinal, renal, and skin and eye diseases," said registered dietitian Anya Rosen in New York.

除了有利于心脏健康，还有很多理由让你在饮食中吃虾。据《健康》杂志报道，一份3盎司的虾能提供多达20克的蛋白质，这大约是你每日建议摄入量的40%。虾还含有多种营养物质，包括碘、磷、锌和镁。它还含有一种叫做虾青素的抗氧化剂，可以降低某些疾病的风险。“虾青素的消炎特性也被证明有助于糖尿病、胃肠病、肾病、皮肤病和眼病，”纽约的注册营养师安雅·罗森(Anya Rosen)说。

Shrimp is a versatile ingredient and can be eaten warm or cold. Add a handful to soups, pasta dishes, and salads for a boost of protein and vitamins. Shrimp also needs to be fully cooked before it's eaten, so be sure that it's pink all the way through before you enjoy it.

虾是一种用途广泛的食材，可以冷着吃也可以热着吃。在汤、意大利面和沙拉中加入少量的胡萝卜可以增加蛋白质和维生素。虾在吃之前也需要完全煮熟，所以在享用之前，一定要确保它一直是粉红色的。
