Dragon prawns are another addition to the “Dragon” food family that is popular in Indo-Chinese cuisine. Like its namesake, Dragon Chicken, this dish is noted for its spicy taste and unique red coloring. It isn’t too difficult to make, but it can be overwhelming if you make it too spicy. Be sure to experiment with the amount of spices used in the sauce. You should try making this dish along with its dragon counterparts for a truly epic feast.
Dragon Prawns taste great when they are served hot. Pack them in insulated food containers or steel lunch box so you can eat it warm after a few hours.
Health Benefits
Dragon prawns are not only fun and delicious to eat; they are also a very healthy choice. Eating prawns can help with heart health due to the Omega-3 fatty acids they possess. They also help to build strong bones and teeth because they have a sizable calcium content. Prawns are rich in vitamin B12 as well which is a very good thing since B12 deficiencies can lead to extreme fatigue, anemia, and in the worst cases depression.
