Marinated prawns are a flavorful seafood dish featuring prawns soaked in a mixture of herbs, spices, oils, and acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar to enhance their taste and tenderness. This versatile dish is popular in Mediterranean, Asian, and Caribbean cuisines, with recipes varying to include garlic, chili, ginger, or soy sauce for a unique twist. Prawns are a lean source of high-quality protein, low in calories, and rich in nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, considerations should be made for sodium content if the marinade includes soy sauce or salt. Grilling or baking marinated prawns is a healthier preparation method compared to frying, as it helps retain their natural nutrients while avoiding unhealthy fats. Perfect as a light main course or appetizer, marinated prawns are both nutritious and delicious.
