About Tempura prawns

Tempura prawns are a popular Japanese dish consisting of large shrimp coated in a light, airy batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. The batter typically combines flour, eggs, and cold water, creating a crisp texture that complements the tender, juicy prawns inside. Originating from 16th-century Japan, tempura has since become a staple of Japanese cuisine and an international favorite. Prawns are a good source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12. However, the frying process increases calorie and fat content, particularly if consumed in large portions or paired with heavy dipping sauces. For a healthier version, tempura can be prepared in smaller amounts or paired with lighter, nutrient-dense sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. Ultimately, tempura prawns offer a delicious blend of taste and texture, making them a treat worth enjoying in moderation.
