No. Shrimp contain roughly 35 mcg (micrograms) iodine per 100 g shrimp. Your recommended minimal daily intake of iodine to maintain a healthy thyroid and avoid hypothyroidism, is 150 mcg/day, 250 mcg /day for pregnant women. read more

You couldn't eat enough shrimp to get iodine poisoning. Three ounces (85g) of shrimp contain ~25 micrograms of iodine. The LD50 for iodine is 22g/kg of body weight in test animals (rats). You'd have to eat on the order of 207 pounds (94kg) of shrimp in one sitting to suffer acute iodine poisoning if you weigh 176 pounds (80kg) yourself. read more
