About Buttered prawns

Buttered Prawns are a flavorful seafood dish popular in Asian cuisines, particularly Malaysian and Chinese. This dish typically features fresh prawns sautéed in a rich butter sauce infused with garlic, chili, and curry leaves, offering a delightful blend of savory and aromatic flavors. Additional ingredients like soy sauce or sugar may be added for balance, creating a slightly sweet and spicy profile. Prawns are a great source of lean protein, vitamins, and minerals like selenium and vitamin B12, making them a nutritious choice. However, the butter and oil used in preparation contribute to higher saturated fat and calorie content, and the dish may have added sodium from seasonings. Moderation is key to enjoying its health benefits while minimizing less healthy aspects. Served hot, Buttered Prawns are a satisfying indulgence that pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.
