Health Benefits of Eating Big Jumbo Prawns & Crabs
At Asaba Seafood Restaurant, our Big Jumbo Prawns and freshly cooked Crabs aren’t just a treat for your taste buds — they’re also packed with nutrients your body will love.
Whether you enjoy them grilled, boiled, or in a creamy sauce, these seafood delights are some of the healthiest proteins you can eat. Let’s dive into the amazing health benefits that make prawns and crabs a must-have in your diet.
1. A Lean Source of High-Quality Protein
Both prawns and crabs are excellent sources of lean protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscles.
Unlike red meat, they’re low in saturated fats, making them perfect for those who want to stay fit without compromising on flavor.
🦐 Just 100 grams of prawns gives you about 20 grams of pure, high-quality protein!
2. Packed with Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3s are known as the good fats that support heart health.
They help reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, and improve blood circulation.
Crabs and prawns are naturally rich in EPA and DHA — the two most beneficial types of omega-3s.
❤️ Eating seafood regularly can help protect your heart and boost brain function.
3. Boosts Immunity and Fights Fatigue
Crabs are loaded with selenium and zinc, two powerful minerals that help strengthen your immune system and protect your body from infections.
Prawns, on the other hand, are rich in vitamin B12, which supports red blood cell production and helps fight fatigue.
💪 Add prawns and crabs to your diet for natural energy and stronger immunity.
4. Great for Your Skin and Eyes
Thanks to their high levels of vitamin A, E, and antioxidants, both prawns and crabs can help improve skin elasticity and promote a healthy glow.
The astaxanthin pigment in prawns also helps protect your skin from UV damage and keeps your eyes sharp.
👁️ Seafood isn’t just tasty — it’s your natural beauty secret.
5. Supports Weight Loss and Fitness
If you’re watching your weight, seafood is your best friend.
Jumbo prawns and crabs are low in calories and high in protein, which helps you stay full longer while supporting lean muscle mass.
Pair them with a light salad, grilled veggies, or coconut rice for a balanced, healthy meal.
⚖️ Delicious, satisfying, and waistline-friendly.
6. Strengthens Bones and Joints
Crabs are rich in phosphorus and calcium, both vital for maintaining strong bones and preventing arthritis.
Regular consumption can help support joint health — especially when grilled or lightly cooked to retain nutrients.
🦀 Stronger bones, happier joints, and healthier living.
7. Improves Mood and Mental Health
Feeling stressed? You might just need seafood therapy.
Omega-3s and vitamin B12 found in prawns and crabs help boost serotonin levels, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
🌊 A plate of seafood might be the best kind of comfort food.
