Abstract:Although shrimp is a delicious and protein-rich meat，it can cause varying allergic reaction degrees as a primary allergen.The allergy mechanism of shrimp and its main allergen（tropomyosin，arginine kinase，myosin light chain，sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein，pyruvate kinase，hemocyanin）was summarized.The recent research progress of shrimp allergen detection technology was reviewed，including immunological methods，chromatography and mass spectrometry technology，molecular biology methods，and sensor technology.The future development of shrimp allergen detection technology was prospected to provide a reference for a further research direction.
