We investigate the shadow cast of black holes immersed in a dark matter halo. We use the M87* shadow data obtained by the EHT collaboration to constrain two parameters (M,a) of dark matter halo surrounding a black hole with mass Mbh. For a≥10.8M, we find the favored region (shadow bound), while the disfavored region is found for a<10.8M when imposing the EHT results. This shadow bound is much less than the observation bound of galaxies (a≥104M).
