About Steamed prawn

Steamed prawn is a simple, nutrient-rich dish often associated with Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese and Thai cooking. This preparation involves fresh prawns gently steamed to preserve their natural flavors and nutritional value. Prawns are an excellent source of high-quality protein, low in fat, and rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and vitamin B12. Steaming enhances their health benefits by avoiding added oils and fats, making it a heart-healthy choice for those watching cholesterol levels. Commonly served with light seasonings or dipping sauces, steamed prawn retains its delicate texture and flavor while supporting a balanced diet. However, individuals with shellfish allergies or high sodium intake should exercise caution if additional sauces are used. With its lean profile and ample nutrients, steamed prawn combines culinary tradition with wholesome eating.
