Prawns or Shrimps as widely known as is an excellent and delicate seafood next to fish. It blends well other flavors and is fast to cook. It is believed to be the most popular seafood that is low in calories and saturated fat which makes it a healthier alternative to other milk proteins.

Shrimps come in a varied range of size and colors that include gray, brown, pink and yellowish. When cooked, prawns give a pleasing orange in colour and become opaque. This is available right through the year, fresh or frozen. Shrimps can be cooked in various ways, fried, in curry or made into fritters. They can be served for starters, side dish or in main course.

Shrimps are also an excellent source of low-fat and low-cal protein and are abundant in Vitamin D and good source of Vitamin B12.
