About Prawn croquettes

Prawn Croquettes are a savory delight originating from European cuisine, particularly Spain and France, known for their creamy texture and golden, crispy exterior. These bite-sized appetizers are made by blending cooked prawns with a béchamel sauce—a rich mixture of butter, milk, and flour—as well as herbs and seasonings, forming a flavorful filling. The mixture is then coated in breadcrumbs and fried until perfectly crisp. While prawns provide lean protein, essential omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins like B12, the croquettes’ fried preparation adds significant calories and saturated fats. Additionally, the béchamel sauce contributes dairy fat and carbs. Moderation is key to balancing their indulgent appeal with their nutritional profile. Perfect as a treat or party snack, Prawn Croquettes offer a taste of classical European culinary craftsmanship with a mix of both nourishing and decadent elements.
