JAKARTA - Shrimp is one of the most popular types of seafood for many people. The taste is savory and the texture is soft, making it suitable for processing in various dishes. However, it turns out that there are several types of food that should not be consumed at the same time as shrimp.

This is because certain combinations can trigger allergies, digestive disorders, and risk harm to health. Here are some foods that should be avoided when combined with shrimp, as reported by the Times of India page.

1. Milk Processed Products

Many shrimp dishes are cooked with cream, milk, or butter sauce. Apparently, this combination can cause allergic reactions. Calcium in dairy products can react with protein on shrimp. This forms a clot (curds) in the stomach that has the potential to disrupt digestion and cause stomach pain.

2. Spicy food

Some people really like to enjoy shrimp with the addition of spicy spices. If it's too much, the spicy taste can cover the original deliciousness of the shrimp. More than that, overheated food can irritate the stomach walls and cause discomfort.

3. High Food of Iron

Shrimp actually already contains medium amount of iron. If consumed in conjunction with high iron foods such as red or spinach meat, iron absorption can increase. This may be beneficial for people who lack iron. But for those who are not short, it could be at risk of causing an iron excess that is not good for health.

4. High Food Pati

Sacrificial foods such as bread, pasta, or rice are often a companion when eating shrimp. However, excessive portion of the star can make the stomach feel heavy and bloating. It is recommended to choose lighter side dishes, such as vegetables, so that the shrimp taste remains prominent without causing digestive problems.

5. Sitrus fruits

Adding a little lime juice or lemon to shrimp is common because it can increase the taste of freshness. However, excessive consumption of citrus fruit is not recommended. The acid content in citrus fruit can react with protein in shrimp, which in the end can trigger digestive disorders. The key is adequate consumption and don't overdo it.
