A member asked:

I am 7 weeks pregnant & i was wondering if it is safe to eat 12 oz. of shrimp once a week.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergic to shrimp?: If you are not allergic to crustaceans (shrimp, prawn, crab, lobster, crayfish) you may eat shrimp throughout gestation and lactation. In fact, its recommended. We already decided, however, to stay away from cocktail sauce.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
