Fried or Battered Breaded Floured Shrimp (1 Medium Shrimp (Shelled))

Choose grilled, air-fried, or oven-baked shrimp with a light almond-flour or whole-grain coating instead of deep-fried battered shrimp.

Reduce the serving size of breaded shrimp and avoid pairing it with fries, white rice, sweet sauces, or sugary drinks.

Eat the shrimp with a large side of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, leafy greens, zucchini, or a salad with olive-oil dressing.

Add a fiber-rich side such as lentils, chickpeas, or beans in a modest portion instead of refined starches.

Have the meal after starting with vegetables or a small salad, and eat slowly to limit the speed and size of the rise.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
