Call them shrimp or prawns, doesn’t make a difference. The very mention of prawn curry is enough to incite hunger no matter what you call it. Whether it is made Kerala style or Goan, prawn masala curry is fragrant, spicy, yummy, and highly nutritious. And, there is no harm in including one or two servings of prawn masala curry per week in your diabetes diet plan.
Though prawns are known to be high in cholesterol levels, this cholesterol does not increase the cholesterol levels in our bodies. Having 150 grams of prawn per week in your diabetes diet plan is okay.
