Udang Goreng, or fried shrimp, is a popular dish in Indonesian cuisine known for its crispy texture and savory flavor. Typically made by marinating shrimp in a blend of spices, which may include garlic, turmeric, coriander, and chili, the shrimp are then coated in flour or breadcrumbs and deep-fried to golden perfection. While rich in protein and essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12 from the shrimp itself, the dish’s healthiness largely depends on preparation. Deep frying adds calories and fat, which can be a concern for heart health if consumed frequently. Some recipes mitigate this by opting for air frying or pan frying with minimal oil. As a satisfying seafood dish, Udang Goreng is perfect in moderation, paired with steamed vegetables or whole grains to balance its nutritional profile. It is a flavorful reminder of Southeast Asia's vibrant culinary traditions.
