About Salt and pepper prawns

Salt and Pepper Prawns are a flavorful seafood dish originating from Chinese cuisine, especially popular in Cantonese cooking. This savory recipe features prawns that are lightly coated in cornstarch, then fried for a crispy texture, and tossed with a fragrant mix of garlic, chili, and scallions seasoned with salt and black pepper. The dish highlights the natural sweetness of the prawns while delivering a spicy, aromatic kick. Prawns are a healthy protein source, rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium, which support heart and brain health. However, the frying process can increase the calorie and fat content, particularly if excessive oil is used. Opting for non-fried variations or moderate portions can make this dish a more balanced option for those watching their dietary intake while still enjoying its bold, satisfying flavors.
