Prawns and calamari are popular seafood options celebrated for their tender textures and rich flavors. Typically featured in Mediterranean, Asian, and coastal cuisines, they can be grilled, sautéed, fried, or stewed. Prawns provide a lean source of protein, essential omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium, supporting heart and brain health. Calamari, derived from squid, is similarly protein-packed and rich in zinc, copper, and phosphorus, which aid immunity and bone health. While both can be highly nutritious, preparation methods matter. When grilled or steamed, they retain their health benefits without excess calories. However, batter-fried or heavily seasoned varieties may increase sodium and fat intake. Moderation and cooking techniques play a key role in maximizing their nutritional value, making prawns and calamari a versatile addition to balanced diets.
