About Avocado shrimp roll

The Avocado Shrimp Roll is a fusion dish often associated with Japanese sushi cuisine but also popular in contemporary Western culinary traditions. It typically features cooked shrimp, creamy avocado, sushi rice, and seaweed (nori), rolled together. This dish is nutrient-dense yet light, combining lean protein from shrimp with healthy monounsaturated fats from avocado. A standard roll (6 pieces) provides approximately 200-250 calories, with 8-10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, and a moderate amount of carbohydrates from the rice. It's also a good source of vitamins A, C, E, and B12, along with essential minerals such as potassium, selenium, and iodine.

Health Benefits

• Rich in omega-3 fatty acids from shrimp, which support heart and brain health.
• Avocado provides monounsaturated fats that help reduce bad cholesterol levels (LDL).
• Shrimp is a high-quality protein source containing all essential amino acids needed for muscle repair and maintenance.
• Provides potassium from avocado, which aids in regulating blood pressure.
• Contains Vitamin B12 from shrimp, which supports red blood cell production and neurological function.
