Is it true that shrimp can cause high cholesterol?

Fish oil in shrimp.: The cholesterol in shrimp, like that in other fish, is predominantly healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. The problem with shrimp is that it's so easy to eat a lot of them as they're essentially finger-food. So in total, the cholesterol can add up to a lot of calories. Having a few steamed or grilled shrimp would be just fine.
