Whether patients with pancreatitis can eat shrimp depends on their specific condition. If the condition is stable and there are no discomfort symptoms, shrimp can be consumed in moderation. Shrimp contains abundant protein, vitamins, and other nutrients; moderate consumption may enhance immunity and resistance without generally affecting the disease. However, during an acute episode of pancreatitis, eating shrimp is usually not recommended to avoid adverse effects on the body.
