Fried prawns are a popular dish found across various cuisines, particularly in Asian and Mediterranean cooking. Typically prepared by coating peeled prawns in a light batter or breadcrumbs and deep-frying them until golden and crispy, they offer a delightful crunch paired with the succulent, tender seafood inside. Often seasoned with spices and herbs, fried prawns can be served as an appetizer, snack, or main dish. While prawns are a lean source of protein and rich in essential nutrients like selenium and iodine, the frying process adds significant calories and can increase saturated fats depending on the oil used. For a healthier option, they can be baked or air-fried with minimal oil. Fried prawns pair well with fresh salads or dipping sauces, adding balance to the dish with vibrant flavors. Enjoying them in moderation allows for indulgence while maintaining a mindful approach to nutrition.
