Compare all 2 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 2 exact records in this guide report 153–374 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 123–124 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Shrimp creole, begin by separating “Shrimp creole, no rice” from “Shrimp creole, with rice.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 2 named USDA records in view: 2 direct matches. All sit within “Seafood mixed dishes.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 2 records together under the exact grouping key “shrimp creole.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Shrimp creole, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2706856 through FDC 2706713. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

123–304 g before composition

The largest source amount is 2.5× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

1 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “with rice”; the higher is “no rice.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

283 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “no rice” (153 mg) and “with rice” (436 mg).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every shrimp creole.

Important: “Lower” begins with Shrimp creole, no rice; “higher” ends with Shrimp creole, with rice, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every shrimp creole meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Shrimp creole, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 123 to 304 grams—a 181-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 153 calories for “no rice” to 374 for “with rice.” At a fixed 100 grams, “with rice” is 123 calories and “no rice” is 124—a fixed-weight separation of 1 calories. For Shrimp creole, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “no rice” and “with rice”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached, margarine, stick, and onions, raw; differentiating rows include crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned, crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture), and rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked. On this Shrimp creole page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Shrimp creole” cannot resolve the differences between Shrimp creole, no rice and Shrimp creole, with rice. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 123–304 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “no rice” and “with rice”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached and margarine, stick; rows that vary across the set include crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned, crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture), and rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Shrimp creole, no rice” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Shrimp creole unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that shrimp creole is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“no rice” and “with rice”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Shrimp creole source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 2 exact records behind Shrimp creole source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Shrimp creole, with rice is higher in sodium per 100 g

Shrimp creole, with rice reports 436 mg versus 153 mg for Shrimp creole, no rice: a 283 mg difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Shrimp creole, no rice is denser; Shrimp creole, with rice is higher in its source amount

Shrimp creole, no rice reports 124 kcal per 100 g and 153 kcal in USDA source amount (123 g). Shrimp creole, with rice reports a lower 123 kcal per 100 g but a higher 374 kcal in USDA source amount (304 g).

Record identity is part of the estimate

Distinguish “Shrimp creole, no rice” from “Shrimp creole, with rice”

These are separate USDA records with separate formulations or survey descriptions. Match preparation, additions, and the named household amount before borrowing either record’s nutrients.
