Shrimp salad calories: 178 per 91 g
This exact USDA record reports 178 calories for 91 g. That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 178 calories for USDA reference amount at 91 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 196 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 9.7 g protein, 0.4 g fiber, and 640 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned, representing 50.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 178–357 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706837: “Shrimp salad.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2706837, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 68.3 g | 134 kcal | 7.3 g | 0.3 g | 480 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 91 g | 178 kcal | 9.7 g | 0.4 g | 640 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 182 g | 357 kcal | 19.5 g | 0.7 g | 1,279 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Shrimp salad,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706838 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 91 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 68.3–113.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 134 kcal and 223 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706838
At an equal 100 g, this record has 118 mg more sodium than “Seafood salad.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned supplies 50.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 118 mg more sodium than “Seafood salad.”
Only the comparison record lists Crustaceans, crab, blue, canned; Crustaceans, lobster, northern, cooked, moist heat. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned; Celery, raw; Lemon juice, raw; Salt, table; and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Crustaceans, crab, blue, canned; Crustaceans, lobster, northern, cooked, moist heat.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 91 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (182 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 104 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (208 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706837 with FDC 2706838 at equal mass; use their 91 g and 104 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706837 versus FDC 2706838 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, species or cut, cooking method, breading, butter, or sauce.
For “Shrimp salad,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
species or cut
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
cooking method
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
- 04
breading, butter, or sauce
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706837 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 196 kcal per 100 g becomes 178 kcal at 91 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706837
FNDDS food code: 27450070
The scaling for FDC 2706837 can be exact while the match to “Shrimp salad” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 91 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
