Prawns, king, raw

King prawns are warm-water shellfish. The figures here describe raw king prawns sold frozen or chilled. They mainly provide protein, with 18g per 100g, alongside 0.7g of fat and 0.54g of salt. They also provide vitamins and minerals, including 34µg of selenium per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while selenium supports normal thyroid function and helps protect cells from damage. Although the fat content is low, the salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Added salt, sauces and other ingredients can change the nutritional content of a prepared dish. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (9 samples, 9 products, warm-water prawns (Panaeus vannamei), frozen and chilled). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
