Yes, cooked shrimp is generally safe for people with IgA Nephropathy, with some important considerations:

Shrimp is a lean protein source that's lower in phosphorus compared to red meat
Ensure it's well-cooked to avoid food-borne illness risks
Watch portion sizes and sodium content in seasonings
If you have high blood pressure or fluid retention, limit added salt
Monitor how your body responds after eating it
Always consult your nephrologist about specific dietary restrictions based on your disease stage and lab values.
