Shrimp scampi calories: 240 per 125 g
This exact USDA record reports 240 calories for 125 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 240 calories for USDA reference amount at 125 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 192 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 19.3 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 210 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, raw (may contain additives to retain moisture), representing 85% 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 29–480 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 2706458: “Shrimp scampi.” 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 2706458, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 shrimp” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 shrimpUSDA-listed household measure | 15 g | 29 kcal | 2.3 g | 0 g | 25 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 125 g | 240 kcal | 19.3 g | 0.3 g | 210 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 250 g | 480 kcal | 38.5 g | 0.5 g | 420 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 30 exact records in the Shellfish USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2706458’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706458’s 125 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
Vitamin A146.3 µg
≈ 16% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium34 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Shrimp scampi,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706362 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 shrimp to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 15 g and 250 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 29 kcal to 480 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706362
At an equal 100 g, this record has 9.5 g more total fat than “Shrimp, grilled.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, raw (may contain additives to retain moisture)
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, raw (may contain additives to retain moisture) supplies 85% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when the exact wording “Shrimp scampi” fits. Inspect FDC 2706362 when “grilled” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 82 more calories, 1.9 g less protein, and 9.5 g more total fat than “Shrimp, grilled.”
Only this record lists Butter, stick, salted; Olive oil; Garlic, raw; Parsley, fresh. Only the comparison record lists Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 of the six displayed differences clear 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, raw (may contain additives to retain moisture).
Listed only in this record: Butter, stick, salted; Olive oil; Garlic, raw; Parsley, fresh.
Listed only in the comparison: Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (135 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706458 with FDC 2706362 at equal mass; use their 125 g and 85 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706458 versus FDC 2706362 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 scampi,” 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 2706458 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 192 kcal per 100 g becomes 240 kcal at 125 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: 2706458
FNDDS food code: 27150230
The scaling for FDC 2706458 can be exact while the match to “Shrimp scampi” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 125 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
