Prawns health benifits and a recipe

in #food6 years ago

Seafood, in particular prawns have been a favorite food for many people . However , many people are of the opinion that prawns are not a health meal. In a sense , they are correct. Prawns are high in sodium and cholesterol. A serving of 3-ounces of prawns have 805 milligrams of sodium. With a recommended daily intake of 2300 milligrams for adults and 1500 milligrams adults with heart disease , prawns can be a risk. A serving of 3 ounces also has 165g of cholesterol , with a recommended intake of 200g per day ,it also can be a risk.

Now lets look at the Nutritional benefits of Prawns.

8-9 prawns ,contain 101 calories . 19g of protein and 1.4g fat. With also calcium,potassium, phosphorous and vitamins A and E.
Prawns have unsaturated fat and makes up most of the total fat content. Unsaturated fats are helpful to lower blood cholesterol levels. Prawns also have omega3 fatty acids . Omega3 fatty acids can't be produced by humans and because it reduces inflammation, heart diseases,cancer and arthritis, we can see how important Omega3 fatty acids are.
Although, prawns have risks to good health they have benefits as well. For me , if we consume all foods in moderation it is a good source of health.

My recommended ingredients

  1. 1.8 kg prawns
  2. 4-5 tsp dry red chilies
  3. 250-300 ml lemon juice
  4. 250 g butter
  5. salt if needed
    All that needed to be done is add all the ingredients gether . Add to a wok. Cook until the shells splits away from the prawn. This will take around 7-8 minutes. For best results eat as soon as they are done.
    You may have them with rice or garlic bread.
