About Battered prawns

Battered prawns are a flavorful seafood dish commonly featured in international cuisines, especially in Asian and Western cooking. These prawns are coated in a seasoned flour or breadcrumb batter, often enhanced with spices like paprika or garlic powder, then deep-fried to golden perfection. The crunchy outer layer contrasts deliciously with the succulent, protein-rich prawns inside. Prawns are a good source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and key vitamins such as B12. However, the deep-frying process increases fat and calorie content, potentially making them less ideal for heart health when consumed in excess. Pairing battered prawns with lighter sides such as steamed vegetables or dipping sauces like yogurt-based blends can help balance the dish. Their tempting flavor and mix of textures make them a popular choice for appetizers or main courses, especially in festive or social settings. Enjoy in moderation for a satisfying treat.
