Laughing Crab - Cajun Seafood

Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information

4508 University Ave, West Des Moines, IA 50266

77items analyzed
"This menu is high in lean seafood protein and very adaptable — overall I'd call it balanced with a strong lean-protein focus (so it can support cutting or muscle-building depending on choices). For cutting: pick a boiled option like Lunch Boiled Shrimp (No Head) — 170 kcal and 40 g protein — with the house salad or steamed veg. For bulking: choose a calorie-dense fried/special option such as the Weekend Special (~1410 kcal, 132 g protein, 70 g fat) or the 12-piece wings (1460 kcal) to hit a surplus."
