Prawns, king, grilled from raw

King prawns are warm-water shellfish. The figures here describe prawns grilled from raw, using frozen and chilled products. They mainly provide protein, with 24g per 100g, and contain 0.9g of fat and 0.76g of salt per 100g. They also provide vitamin B12, at 1.6µg per 100g, alongside minerals including selenium and phosphorus.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, particularly when salt or sauces are added during preparation. Prawns are crustaceans and can cause allergic reactions.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (9 samples, 9 products, warm-water prawns (Panaeus vannamei), frozen and chilled). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
