About Prawn balls

Prawn Balls are a delicious seafood delicacy often found in Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese and Thai. Made from finely minced prawns mixed with seasonings like garlic, ginger, and spring onions, they are shaped into bite-sized balls and typically deep-fried or steamed. Commonly enjoyed as appetizers or paired with dipping sauces, their texture is both tender and flavorful. Prawn Balls offer a good source of lean protein from the prawns, as well as essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12. However, the preparation method plays a crucial role in their healthfulness. Steamed Prawn Balls tend to be lower in calories and fat compared to their deep-fried counterparts, which might be higher in saturated fats and calories depending on the oil used. For a healthier option, they can also be baked or paired with nutrient-dense sides like fresh vegetables or salads.
