Can I eat fried shrimp?

Ladies, I love cooked shrimp so much. You often get them in Chinese restaurants with noodles. Or in those other places with noodles. Can I just eat them now that I'm pregnant?

    Hey Katie,

    Yeah sure, but I'd bake them myself and not get them from the Chinese place. That's pretty much the only cuisine my gynecologist completely advises against, for food safety reasons...
    But, bake them yourself and enjoy to the fullest!

    Shrimp is indeed fine, but you'd better avoid Chinese cuisine when you're pregnant. The food is often (too) sitting around before it's prepared.

    Hi ladies

    You can eat anything from the sea!
    If you eat raw fish, try to eat it as fresh as possible... or from a package... just check the expiration date!
    For shellfish, make sure they're cleaned well and if they seem off, don't eat them!
    But with fish, you should always be careful, whether you're pregnant or not!
