Is shrimp high in Cholesterol?

As can be seen from the tables above, shrimp cholesterol is quite high, but for comparative purposes, an equivalent amount of cholesterol is found in about a 2oz / 60 gram egg, So, cholesterol wise you can eat twice as much shrimp by weight as you would an egg.
So, from a cholesterol point of view a serving of shrimp once a week, maybe even twice a week, seems OK, all things being equal, as long as it replaces the whole egg serving you were allowed once or twice a week.
