About Prawn sambal

Prawn Sambal is a flavorful dish originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Malaysia and Indonesia. This vibrant recipe features prawns cooked in a rich sambal sauce made with a blend of chili peppers, garlic, shallots, and tamarind paste, often enhanced with lime juice and sugar for a balance of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors. Packed with protein from the prawns, the dish also offers essential nutrients like selenium and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, it is worth noting that sambal sauce can be high in sodium and oil depending on preparation, so moderation is key. Prawn Sambal pairs well with steamed rice or vegetables, making it a versatile option for a balanced meal while offering a taste of authentic Southeast Asian flavors.
