Overcooking shrimp transforms its texture, flavor, and nutritional composition. While the rubbery, dry result is unappetizing, the primary health concern associated with eating overcooked shrimp is linked to the formation of potential carcinogens, particularly when charred. However, occasional consumption of overcooked, but not charred, shrimp poses a lower risk, though its nutritional value is diminished.
