About Western king prawn

Western king prawn is a common name for a prawn food item. The record does not specify whether it is whole, peeled, raw, cooked, fresh, or frozen, so those forms should not be assumed.

Prawns are used in a wide range of dishes and are sold in forms that vary in shell, size, and preparation. Cooked flesh is typically firm and mildly sweet, though appearance and texture depend on species handling and cooking. Nutrition comparisons should match the edible portion and processing state.
