About Portuguese prawns
Portuguese prawns, a culinary delight often associated with Mediterranean and Portuguese cuisine, are prized for their sweet, tender meat and vibrant flavor. These crustaceans are typically prepared with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and sometimes a hint of spice, reflecting the simplicity and boldness of Portuguese cooking traditions. Rich in protein and low in fat, prawns are an excellent source of essential nutrients like selenium, zinc, and vitamin B12, which support immune health and energy production. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids, known for promoting heart and brain health. However, sodium levels can vary depending on preparation, and fried or heavily seasoned versions may increase calorie and sodium intake. When cooked with wholesome ingredients such as olive oil and fresh herbs, Portuguese prawns make for a nutritious and flavorful addition to any meal, blending health benefits with the vibrant tastes of coastal Portugal.
