Craving Shrimp

I'm almost 3 years post op (Open RNY with 157 bypassed). All my life I've gone through food cravings. Example, I'd eat tons of bagels with cream cheese for 3-6 months. Anyway, for the last week I've craved shrimp. A very expensive craving I've tried hard to ignore! A friend gave me a 1.25 pound bag of shrimp. I ate it all then the craving got even worse, so I went to Aldi's and bought four 12 oz bags ($3) yesterday! I ate the one bag in about 35 minutes. And the 2nd bag, today, is half gone. What is going on? Is it iron I need and perhaps that is why I'm craving shrimp? (I'm assuming shrimp is iron rich). Thanks.
