This Deliciously Zesty Baked Garlicky Prawns recipe is delicious and super easy to make!
Prawns are often considered to be large-sized shrimp, although in reality the two come from different families. Still, prawns taste similar to shrimp and have a similar nutritional profile; one can stand in for the other in recipes. Including prawns in your regular diet means you get their numerous health benefits, but be careful of the high sodium and cholesterol content.
Prawns and shrimp are scientifically distinct. They come from different branches of the crustacean family tree and are anatomically different. Nevertheless, their nutrition profiles are very similar. Each is a good source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals.
So while they may be slightly different, both are nutritious additions to your diet and you’ll likely have no problem substituting one for the other in most recipes. Shrimp have an impressive nutrition profile. It is quite low in calories, providing only 84 calories in a 3-ounce (85-gram) serving, and does not contain any carbs. Approximately 90% of the calories in shrimp come from protein, and the rest come from fat. Additionally, the same serving size provides more than 20 different vitamins and minerals, including 50% of your daily needs for selenium, a mineral that may help reduce inflammation and promote heart health.
