Additional Informations
Paprika Shrimp, as a culinary combination, explicitly does not have available specific research discussing its histamine activity. However, analysis of individual components can provide some foundational understanding of potential impact.
Shrimp, like other invertebrate seafood, is considered a potent histamine liberator that may not inherently contain high histamine levels but could potentially prompt the body to release its own histamine upon consumption. This could result in higher histamine levels overall for individuals sensitive to histamine or with existing high levels (1).
Paprika, however, shows no clear indications of impacting the histamine levels in either direction, as it is not mentioned in commonly available sources as a high histamine food, a histamine liberator, or a food that delays the breakdown of histamine.
The effect of the meal might be influenced by further ingredients like vinegar - a high histamine food, or products containing tomato, which also have a high histamine content. Alcohol, often accompanying meals, is another factor that might impact the histamine, as it is classified both as a high histamine food and a substance delaying the breakdown of histamine (2).
In light of the above, it is plausible to suggest potential increased histamine activity after the consumption of Paprika Shrimp, mainly attributable to the shrimp and possibly exacerbated by other accompanying ingredients or flavors. As your emphasized precaution, the disclaimer: "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any definitive information, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon" applies here.
