Nice green banana prawns fron Woolies. I found it quite fresh recently as the heads of the prawns are not lossening (not dead for a long time). And the price is affordable too.

High-quality protein & lean: Prawns are generally a great source of lean protein. They deliver good nutritional value without a lot of fat or carbohydrates.  • Low calorie / low fat option: According to one nutrition source for these prawns, they have very low fat (and carb/sugar) content per 100 g, making them a light, healthy seafood choice compared to many processed or heavy foods.  • Versatile ingredient: Thawed prawns are easy to cook — they suit stir-fries, pastas, curries, grills or seafood dishes, and their mild “seafood” flavour works well with many cuisines. • Sustainable/popular wild-caught seafood: The product is listed as “wild-caught.”  • Convenient alternative to fresh: For many people, having thawed prawns available from a supermarket may be much more practical than sourcing fresh seafood, especially if fresh seafood is expensive or hard to access locally. ⚠️ Negatives / Things to Watch Out For • Risk of quality loss if thawed or refrozen improperly: Frozen/thawed prawns can suffer texture degradation (becoming a bit mushy or less firm) especially if thawing or refreezing is done poorly.  • Need to cook thoroughly — raw prawns are risky: Eating raw or undercooked prawns can pose a risk of foodborne illness (bacteria, parasites) — even if previously frozen.  • Potential for contamination if handling or storage is improper: Because prawns are highly perishable, mistakes in thawing, storage or hygiene (e.g. leaving them at warm room temperature too long) can increase risks of bacterial growth.  • Nutritional caveats for some individuals: Like many seafoods, prawns can be higher in purines (which can affect people prone to gout or kidney issues) or dietary cholesterol — so overeating may not be ideal for everyone.  • Allergen concerns: Prawns are crustaceans, so they are a common allergen. The product’s packaging notes crustacean allergy risk — so people with shellfish allergies should obviously avoid them
