About King prawns

King prawns are large, succulent shellfish renowned for their sweet, delicate flavor and versatile use in global cuisines. Commonly incorporated into Asian, Mediterranean, and coastal dishes, they are a popular ingredient in stir-fries, pastas, and seafood platters. Nutritionally, king prawns are an excellent source of lean protein, providing essential amino acids that support muscle health. They are rich in key nutrients such as vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus, which contribute to energy production, immune function, and bone health. Furthermore, they contain omega-3 fatty acids, known for their heart and brain benefits. However, those watching their sodium intake should be mindful, as prawns can contain higher levels, especially when pre-cooked or seasoned. Generally low in fat and calories, king prawns are a healthy option when grilled, steamed, or lightly sautéed, but frying or heavy sauces may add unnecessary fat and calories.
