How many calories are in shrimp teriyaki?
A 1-cup serving of shrimp teriyaki - shrimp and sauce, no rice under it - weighs 201 g and carries 241 calories. Per 100 g the dish runs 120 calories, which is light for something glazed in sweet soy sauce. The protein is the headline: 43.5 g in that cup.
You'd need to walk about 48 minutes to burn the 241 calories in a 1-cup (201 g) serving.

Shrimp teriyaki quick facts
The numbers below come from the survey record FNDDS 2706462, "Shrimp teriyaki", which is shrimp cooked in teriyaki sauce and nothing else. That is the one USDA entry for the dish itself. The Foundation and SR Legacy databases stop at raw and cooked shrimp, so they describe an ingredient, not the plate in front of you.
Read the cup column as the shrimp and the glaze only. A restaurant serving usually sits on rice, and the rice is a separate number that this record does not include.

Numbers on this page come from USDA FoodData Central, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food composition database, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified September 2026. How we verify our data →
Two rows you would see on a package label are missing here: added sugars and trans fat. USDA's survey database does not publish added sugars or trans fat for this mixed dish, so rather than guess at how much of the 3.5 g of sugar came out of the bottle, those lines are left off. Cholesterol and potassium are published: 193 mg and 184 mg per 100 g, which work out to 388 mg and 370 mg in a cup - 129% and 8% of their Daily Values.
US servings, from one ounce to a full cup
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28.3 g | 34 kcal |
| 3 oz | 85 g | 102 kcal |
| 4 oz | 113 g | 136 kcal |
| 1/2 cup | 100.5 g | 121 kcal |
| 1 cup | 201 g | 241 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 120 kcal |
The 1-cup (201 g) and 4 oz (113 g) lines are USDA household measures for this record. The 1 oz, 3 oz and half-cup lines are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings.
Here is the practical trap. A cup of shrimp in sauce is not a cup of loose shrimp: the sauce fills the gaps and the weight climbs. If you scoop shrimp with a slotted spoon and skip the pooled glaze, you are closer to the 4 oz line at 136 calories than to the 241-calorie cup, and you take on far less sodium with it. Weighing the plate beats measuring by volume every time with a saucy dish like this one.
What changes when vegetables and oil join the pan
Teriyaki shrimp is a simmered dish. Its stir-fried relatives use a soy-based sauce too, but they add vegetables and a spoon of cooking oil, and that swap shows up in the fat and protein rows rather than in the calorie count.
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical portion | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shrimp teriyaki, plain, no rice | 120 kcal | 1 cup (201 g) | 241 kcal |
| Shrimp stir-fry with green vegetables, soy-based sauce | 116 kcal | 100 g | 116 kcal |
| Shrimp stir-fry without green vegetables, soy-based sauce | 118 kcal | 100 g | 118 kcal |
| Mixed shellfish with vegetables, soy-based sauce | 120 kcal | 100 g | 120 kcal |
| Mixed shellfish, non-green vegetables, soy-based sauce | 122 kcal | 100 g | 122 kcal |
The stir-fry rows are shown per 100 g because USDA does not attach a household gram weight to them in this release, so a cup figure would be invented rather than measured.
All five sit between 116 and 122 calories per 100 g - a spread of six calories, which is nothing. What separates them is what the calories are made of. Plain shrimp teriyaki is 21.62 g of protein and 1.56 g of fat per 100 g; the shrimp-and-vegetables version is 9.16 g of protein and 6.4 g of fat. Same calories, less than half the protein, four times the fat. There is no branded frozen entree to compare against, because USDA's Branded database returns no shrimp teriyaki items at all - the supermarket products under that name are complete dinners with rice and vegetables, which is a different food.
Sodium and cholesterol are the rows to watch
Calories are not the problem with this dish. Sodium is. A cup carries 1,168 mg, which is 51% of the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg - roughly half a teaspoon of table salt in one bowl. The shrimp contribute very little of it; the glaze is soy sauce reduced with sugar, and salt is what soy sauce is. CDC notes that most sodium in the American diet arrives already mixed into food rather than from the shaker, and a teriyaki glaze is a clean example.
Cholesterol runs even higher against its yardstick: 388 mg in a cup, 129% of the 300 mg Daily Value, because shrimp are naturally rich in it. Even the modest 4 oz portion reaches 218 mg, 73% of the Daily Value, at only 136 calories. If those two rows matter to you, the lever is portion size and how much pooled sauce comes along, not swapping the shrimp out.
The upside is real too. That same cup covers 87% of the protein Daily Value with 3.1 g of fat, and MyPlate counts seafood as a protein food Americans generally eat too little of. Few dishes with a sweet sauce give you that trade.
How does shrimp teriyaki compare?
| Dish | Per 100 g | Protein per 100 g | Fat per 100 g |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shrimp teriyaki | 120 kcal | 21.62 g | 1.56 g |
| Shrimp with green vegetables, soy-based sauce | 116 kcal | 9.16 g | 6.4 g |
| Shrimp with other vegetables, soy-based sauce | 118 kcal | 9.47 g | 6.64 g |
| Mixed shellfish with vegetables, soy-based sauce | 120 kcal | 9.41 g | 6.38 g |
Our take: if you are choosing across a takeout menu on protein per calorie, plain shrimp teriyaki wins this group outright - more than double the protein of any stir-fry row at the same calorie level. The vegetable versions are not worse food; the oil and the vegetables simply dilute the shrimp. Pick teriyaki when protein is the goal and you can control the sauce; pick a stir-fry when you want the vegetables on the plate and are less worried about hitting a protein number.

Shrimp teriyaki FAQs
How many calories are in shrimp teriyaki?
A 1-cup serving is 241 calories, and 100 g of shrimp teriyaki is 120 calories. That figure covers shrimp in teriyaki sauce with no rice or noodles underneath. A smaller 4 oz (113 g) plate of the same dish comes to 136 calories, with 24.4 g of protein.
How many calories in 1 cup of shrimp teriyaki?
One cup weighs 201 g and holds 241 calories, the USDA's own household portion for this record. It brings 43.5 g of protein, 6.7 g of carbohydrate and only 3.1 g of fat. Half a cup, our own arithmetic from the 100 g figure, is about 121 calories.
How much protein is in shrimp teriyaki?
A cup delivers 43.5 g of protein, 87% of the Daily Value, from 21.62 g per 100 g. Very few restaurant-style dishes hit that number at 241 calories. Even a 3 oz (85 g) tasting portion, scaled from the 100 g figure, still carries 18.4 g.
How much sodium is in shrimp teriyaki?
One cup carries 1,168 mg of sodium, 51% of the Daily Value and roughly half a teaspoon of table salt. The shrimp are not the source; the teriyaki glaze is. A 4 oz (113 g) portion drops that to 657 mg, or 29% of the day's limit.
Does shrimp teriyaki have a lot of cholesterol?
Yes - 388 mg in one cup, 129% of the 300 mg Daily Value, because shrimp are naturally high in it. Even the 4 oz plate reaches 218 mg, 73% of the Daily Value, at just 136 calories. Cholesterol is the row that moves fastest here, not calories.
How many carbs are in shrimp teriyaki?
A cup has 6.7 g of carbohydrate, 2% of the Daily Value, with 3.5 g of that as total sugars and no fiber at all. Per 100 g it is 3.34 g. Rice changes everything, so the number above applies only to the shrimp and sauce.
Is shrimp teriyaki healthy?
By the numbers it is lean: 241 calories a cup, 3.1 g of fat, 43.5 g of protein. The catch is 1,168 mg of sodium and 388 mg of cholesterol in the same cup. If you are watching sodium, a smaller 4 oz portion keeps it near 657 mg.
Is shrimp teriyaki good for weight loss?
241 calories for 43.5 g of protein is one of the better trades on a takeout menu, and the dish has almost no fat at 3.1 g. The rice is what usually moves the total. Kept plain, a cup fits inside most 350-450 calorie lunch targets.
