Shrimp, steamed or boiled calories: 77 per 85 g
This exact USDA record reports 77 calories for 85 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 77 calories for USDA reference amount at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 90 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 14.6 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 211 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 99.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 5–122 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 2706363: “Shrimp, steamed or boiled.” 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 2706363, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 tiny 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 tiny shrimpUSDA-listed household measure | 5 g | 5 kcal | 0.9 g | 0 g | 12 mg |
| 1 small/medium shrimpUSDA-listed household measure | 10 g | 9 kcal | 1.7 g | 0 g | 25 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 122 kcal | 23.2 g | 0 g | 335 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 30 exact records in the Shellfish USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706363’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 2706363’s 85 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. 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 A55.3 µg
≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium24 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Shrimp, steamed or boiled,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706358 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 tiny shrimp to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 5 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 5 kcal to 122 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706358
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.9 g less carbohydrate than “Scallops, steamed or boiled.” 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 2 input rows; Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, raw (may contain additives to retain moisture) supplies 99.8% 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 “steamed or boiled” fits. Inspect FDC 2706358 when “steamed or boiled” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 2 g more protein, 2.9 g less carbohydrate, and 53 mg less sodium than “Scallops, steamed or boiled.”
Only this record lists Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, raw (may contain additives to retain moisture). Only the comparison record lists Mollusks, scallop, mixed species, raw. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence

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, steamed or boiled,” 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 2706363 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 90 kcal per 100 g becomes 77 kcal at 85 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: 2706363
FNDDS food code: 26319130
The scaling for FDC 2706363 can be exact while the match to “Shrimp, steamed or boiled” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
