Nutritional Value (per 100g)

  • Protein: 18g – 20g.

  • Calories: ~85–90 kcal.

  • Omega-3s: Heart-healthy essential fats.

  • Minerals: High in Zinc and Selenium, which support immune health.


Top Culinary Uses

Pro Tip: Horina prawns are delicate. To keep them tender, cook them for no more than 3–4 minutes in total. Overcooking will make the thin shells stick to the meat.

  • Chingri-Bati Chorchori: Steamed in a small bowl with mustard oil, green chilies, and turmeric.

  • Lau-Chingri: The classic pairing with bottle gourd, where the prawns act as a natural sweetener for the vegetable.

  • Prawn Bhuna: A thick, spicy gravy with sautéed onions and tomatoes.

  • Crispy Tempura: Because they are small and sweet, they are excellent for light batter frying.


Handling & Storage

  • Cleaning: Gently pull off the "horn" on the head and the sharp tail bit. If keeping the head on, rinse thoroughly to clean the gills.

  • Thawing: Submerge the 300g pack in cool water for 10–15 minutes.

  • Storage: Keep frozen at $-18^{\circ}\text{C}$. For best taste, consume within 1 month of purchase.
