Do you know the difference between shrimp and prawns? Many diners would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two. Indeed, you may occasionally find that these two terms are used interchangeably. However, it is generally accepted that prawns are larger than shrimp.
One way or the other, prawns have largely the same health benefits found in shrimp. Prawns offer a healthy dose of the omega-3 fatty acids you need to maintain a functional circulatory system. Since these animals are a low rung on the food chain, you can expect even those caught in the wild to have a low mercury content. On top of all this, you get a rich array of vitamins and minerals, among which are vitamin B12, iron, phosphorus, potassium, iodine, selenium, zinc, magnesium, and calcium. These nutrients help you to maintain good health in your skin, your blood, and many other important systems.
At our Italian restaurant in Bothell, you can enjoy the great taste of white prawns in the form of our gamberoni, sauteed in Italian vermouth, vine ripened roma tomatoes, and basil. Make this delicious favorite a bigger part of your life with Amaro Bistro tonight!
