Prawns are low in calories, contain no carbs and even though they have a high cholesterol content, they are low in saturated fat. They are high in Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids which are helpful in lowering triglyceride levels and have many other health benefits.

Tips

We buy frozen prawns that are already prepared. Allow more prep time if you can’t find prepared prawns. If you don’t like prawns you can use chicken or pork instead. Remove chilli seeds to make a milder version of this recipe.
