Description:  Shrimp shells make an excellent garden fertilizer, and are also a very good addition to fish feed, bird feed, pet food, and food for livestock. Shrimp shells are rich in lean protein (25-40% protein, where the protein itself comprises of 60-75% collagen), healthy fat, and minerals. In some countries, a pinch of shrimp powder is added to fried rice, risotto, sauces, and soups in moderation (it has a strong flavor and aroma).

Used topically, according to the Asian Institute of Technology, chitin extracted from shrimp shell with a squirt of Bacillus bacteria is antifungal and antibacterial, and can be used to help serious burn wounds.

Historical Uses of SHRIMP MEAT:  immunity boosting, obesity, weight loss, anti-aging, collagen boosting, wrinkles, sagging skin, age spots, high cholesterol, high blood pressure

Mystical Attributes:  Various species of Shrimp habitats include just about every condition of the ocean including muddy water, sandy ocean floor, coral reefs, and even the deep water canyon of the Gulf Coast. Most are found in shallow marshes along the Gulf and East Coast. Shrimp live in symbiosis with bacteria, are believed to possibly be able to survive in outer space, and even may hold clues to alien life. Because of their remarkable ability to thrive in extreme environments, Shrimp symbolize survival.
