Healthcare  suggestions:

Prawns are a good source of unsaturated fat, which makes up the majority of its fat content. Unsaturated fats can help improve your blood cholesterol levels when you eat them in place of saturated or trans fats. Prawns, like other fish and shellfish, are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids — essential fatty acids your body does not produce. Omega-3s can reduce inflammation and your risk of heart disease, cancer, and arthritis, as well as help with brain function. While prawns are a low-fat food and contain many healthy fats, they are also rich in cholesterol.

Despite the high cholesterol content, prawns are still a healthy alternative protein source. While prawns are a healthy food choice in general, they are also naturally high in sodium. Prawns are a great source of Vitamins B-6, B-12, and Niacin, which help the body produce energy, build muscle and replenish red blood cells.
Prawns contain significant amounts of iron, a mineral that is essential for the body to effectively distribute oxygen.Eating prawns helps build strong bones because they contain phosphorous, copper and magnesium.

It may cause allergic in some cases.
