Scampi, coated in breadcrumbs, fried in sunflower oil

Scampi is a shellfish product made from langoustine tails. The form described here is coated in breadcrumbs and fried in sunflower oil. It provides carbohydrate from the coating, protein from the shellfish and fat from frying. Per 100g, it contains 22g of carbohydrate, 11g of protein, 13g of fat and 1.3g of salt.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while carbohydrate and fat provide energy. The breadcrumb coating and frying affect the overall nutrient content, so these figures differ from those for plain shellfish. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
