Prawns balls are fun to eat! They’re scrumptious, handheld, and family-friendly! You skewer them, add them to soups, or just toss a few into your lunchbox for a fun, superfood protein snack when you’re at school or work. They feel and taste like a junk food, but are actually a healthy meal!

Here are four prawns balls recipes you can prepare in under half an hour:

Ginger Prawns Balls

Ginger Prawns Balls

These homemade balls look like dim sum quality, but have the tactile quality of prawns dumplings! If you’ve ever eaten breakfast (dim sum) at a Chinese restaurant, you’ll certainly get that feel when you feel and taste these for yourself.

Peel and devein a pound of prawns, then chop into chunks. Finely chop two tablespoons of water chestnuts and one tablespoon ginger. If you can find Thai chilies, finely chop a teaspoon of them, but if you can’t, then substitute with jalapenos.

Let’s make the dipping sauce first! Mix together a tablespoon of white vinegar and soy sauce, a half teaspoon of sesame oil, and the chilies or jalapenos. Put this mixture away for now.

In another, larger bowl, add a teaspoon of soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of Panko breadcrumbs, a tablespoon of sriracha, the ginger, the water chestnuts, and the prawns.

In a large saucepan, warm a tablespoon of vegetable oil using medium heat, making sure to coat the whole surface of the saucepan.

Scoop about 11.5 tablespoons of the prawns mixture up and mold it into a ball, then gently place onto the saucepan. Repeat until you run out of prawns mixture. Cover the saucepan with the lid and let cook for five minutes.

Place your prawns balls onto your serving dish with the dipping sauce to the side! Serve and enjoy!

These prawns balls are crunchy on the outside and savory on the inside! They’re that perfect snack that you can make for friends or if you want something fun and healthy to eat.

Filter the egg yolk out of one egg, keeping the egg whites and adding them to the prawns bowl with a tablespoon of beer of your choice, half a teaspoon of ginger juice and fine salt, and a tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well until uniform.

Spread Japanese-stye breadcrumbs on a bowl or tray or plate. With your hands, scoop some of your prawns mixture and form it into a ball – you should be able to make a dozen. Roll your prawns balls over the breadcrumbs, making sure they’re well covered.

Using medium heat and your choice of cooking oil, fry your prawns balls until they turn golden brown. This usually takes about three minutes.

In a mixing bowl, mix together a cup of flour and water, two teaspoons of dashi, and two eggs. Whisk until the mixture becomes like pancake batter.

4 Candy-like Prawns Recipes That Will Please Your Sweet Tooth and Make You a Superfood Meal Too!

candy prawns

Eating candy is fun and exciting, but also not really that nutritious and could be bad for your health in excessive amounts. But, if you’d like a healthier alternative to commercial candy, you can try these four super sweet prawns candy recipes! Prawns are superfood proteins and this recipe uses some antioxidant-rich spices and veggies, as well as natural sweeteners, like honey, which has its own antioxidants and healing properties!

Candy Cane Prawns

candy cane prawns

These prawns are shaped like candy canes and skewered like barbecue! They’re not exactly sweet, but they’re minty like candy canes because they’re coated with mint pesto. You can add a sweet marinade, like honey or honey mustard to give it a sweetness.

To make them, start by peeling and deveining two pounds of prawns. Sautee in a skillet using medium heat and cooking oil until they turn pink.

Chop two cloves of garlic and a fourth cup of roasted almonds in a food processor. Next, add a cup of fresh mint leaves and parsley, but make sure it’s a compressed measurement rather than loose leaves. Pour in a fourth cup of lemon juice (preferably squeezed from a lemon) and add a fourth cup of grated Parmesan. Pulse the food processor until everything is chopped into coarse pieces.

If chunks get stuck to the sides, try to get them off, and then start streaming a half cup of olive oil while the food processor pulses. Sprinkle some salt and black pepper to taste, then stop pulsing and refrigerate.

Prepare an ice water bath, then boil some water in a pot and place 30 chives in a strainer and dip it into the boiling water for about fifteen seconds. Then place the strainer with the chives in the ice bath. Afterward, let the chives drain and you can pat dry them with a paper towel.

Run the skewers through the tail of the prawns first, then along the back. The head sort of dips into the candy cane shape! Next, make the ribbon by tying a chive around the tail!

You can stick them in a glass or vase with ice as a pretty display of your new candy cane prawns!

Serve with your mint pesto dipping sauce and enjoy.

Throw in the prawns and coat heavily in the mixture. Refrigerate for an hour, making sure to turn the prawns over a few times.

Use medium heat and melt two tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan. Take the prawns out from the fridge and shake off any excess marinade back into your container from each prawn as you throw them into the skillet. Season them with a little salt and pepper.

Flip the prawns once after two minutes, then remove after they’re about to turn pink. Now, pour all of your marinade into the skillet and let it boil for about seven minutes until the mixture gets thick and glossy. Toss the prawns back in and flip often to coat them.

In a saucepan, warm up some canola oil using medium-high heat. Boil half a cup of water into it. Pour half a cup of sugar then stir constantly until the mixture turns into a golden syrup. Add half a cup of pre-chopped walnuts or walnut halves and stir to coat all of the walnuts.

Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lay the walnuts onto it.

Mix three tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1.5 teaspoons of honey, and 1.5 teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk in a bowl until uniform.

Beat one egg into a new bowl. Get another new bowl and put half a cup of cornstarch into it. Salt and pepper the prawns to your desire, then dip them into the egg bowl then coat them in the cornstarch bowl while also pressing firmly to make sure they’re firmly coated.

Fry the shrimp on a new skillet using medium high heat and canola oil until they’re golden brown. Spend about one minute per side. Lay them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Introduce the prawns into the honey bowl and toss until all of them are evenly coated. You can serve the prawns with the candied walnuts separated from each other for decorative purposes, or you can set the prawns on a serving dish and top them with the walnuts.

Sayadieh (Prawns Pot)

Prawns Pot

This dish is like a light prawns gumbo from Egypt! It uses sour juices and just the right kind of spices prepared in the right way to make a rice broth dish that tastes quite exotic.

Soak two cups of brown basmati rice for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse until the rinse water becomes clear.

Cut two onions into rings. Peel and devein 2.2 pounds of prawns.

In a small bowl, mix in half a teaspoon of caraway powder and half a tablespoon of each: cumin powder, cinnamon powder, sweet pepper, and The 7 Spices brand spice.

Coat your prawns in this mix very well. Pour a tablespoon of grapeseed oil onto a deep skillet and heat using medium-high heat. Throw in the prawns and cook until they turn pink, then remove and set aside. Add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet and onions and stir such that the onions absorb the prawns’ flavor. Add a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of the spice mix you used for coating the prawns.

Continue to cook the onions for about fifteen more minutes until they’re caramelized. Now, set aside two tablespoons of the onions from the skillet. Throw in the rice and mix well with the onions. After two minutes, add four cups of fish broth. Throw in the rest of your spice mix and bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to keep everything simmering. Cover for fifteen minutes.

Turn off the heat, then leave covered for five minutes. Finally, uncover and squeeze lime or lemon over your Egyptian sayadieh to taste. Use a fork to fluff the rice, then top it with your prawns and reserved onions. You can also add some lemon slices!

Serve and enjoy.

Alexandrian Prawns

Egyptian Alexandrian Prawns

In Egyptian, this dish is named, “Gambari Iskandarani.” It’s an ancient finger food that goes all the way back to the BC era! It leaves the shells on because the chitin protects the shrimp from becoming anything but soft, tender, and juicy while cooking. The buttery mixture of this dish soaks in so many spices and herbs – the signature flavor of Alexandria.

Mince five cloves of garlic. Slice up a yellow onion. Preheat your oven’s broil to 425 degrees.

Soak 2.2 pounds of prawns in a solution of cleaning vinegar and water for 15 minutes. Rinse it with tap water, then set it on a colander to remove excess water.

Place a saucepan on your stovetop at medium-low heat. Melt half a cup of unsalted butter on it, then throw in the garlic and a teaspoon of each: cilantro spice, smoked/sweet paprika, cumin, oregano spice, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. When the mixture starts giving off aromas, turn off the heat.

If the prawns are still wet, you can pat them dry with a paper tower, then place them on your baking plate or tray. Drizzle the buttery mixture onto the prawns, making sure to coat all of them well – you can use a spatula with holes to make this easier. Garnish the prawns with five whole garlic cloves, five bay leaves, the yellow onions and lemon wedges.

Place it into the oven for about half an hour or until the prawns turn pink, then remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil for about five minutes to seal and spread the aromas and flavors.

Serve and enjoy!

4 Hearty Prawns Dinner Recipes for Your Whole Family

prawns dinners

Have you ever considered prawns for dinner? Dinners are usually made with proteins with more mass – like pot roast, steak, and poultry. People think of prawns as an appetizer, a handheld snack, or the ingredient of some kind of light meal dish. But, prawns can actually make for a huge variety of hearty and heavy dinners that can feed your entire family for multiple servings.

Prawns are also healthier than both beef and poultry – they’re a superfood rich with more nutrients than both meats, while also being low in bad fats and high in good fats (omega 3s).

Here are four prawns dinner recipes you can try:

Lemon Herb Prawns and Rice

This is a very filling and scrumptious meal. It’s got all the savory, sour, healthy flavors with the good kind of carbohydrates rather than sugars. It’s definitely a healing dinner after a long day – and the prawns give you an added nutrient-boost along with much needed protein.

Peel and devein 1.5 pounds of prawns. Mince two teaspoons of garlic. In a bowl, add half a teaspoon of each: thyme, basil, oregano, and parsley spices. Cook 1.3 cups of rice.

In a saucepan, melt three tablespoons of butter using medium heat then remove most of it, leaving behind just enough for sauteeing. Throw in and sautee the garlic for a minute. Add the cooked rice and stir for another minute. Add the juice of an entire lemon, 2.7 cups of chicken broth, one teaspoon of salt, a fourth teaspoon of black pepper, and the contents of your spice bowl.

Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat until it’s only simmering and cover for fifteen minutes.

In a new bowl, combine the rest of your melted butter with the half a teaspoon zest of one lemon, and one tablespoon of honey. Add your prawns and mix and toss them around to coat them uniformly.

Remove the lid from the simmering rice, then add the prawns mixture on top. You can also add fresh thyme, parsley, coriander, and some lemon wedges if you’d like – then re-cover. Let cook until prawns turn pink or five minutes maximum.
