Our most popular prawn recipes for all occasions

Easy and healthy!

Prawns are considered one of the healthiest foods in the world. They are not only full of protein, but they are also low in calories compared to other popular meats such as beef and chicken… and what’s more? Prawns have all nine amino acids that are necessary for proper bodily function. BBC Good Food states that there are many more health benefits of prawns; they’re a useful source of vitamins, a source of important trace minerals, a source of protective antioxidants, they may support weight loss, and eating prawns constitutes one of the recommended two portions of seafood per week.

Essentially, prawns should be incorporated into your weekly diet. Below, we have provided you with our best prawn recipes to achieve this while also enjoying some tasty meals!
