COOKBOOK: Mag Recipe
Who doesn’t like a good fritter! A great idea to introduce prawns to a meal. The avocado salsa/salad just gave it that extra summer feel to it.
Prawns / shrimps are rich in selenium which is one of the most effective antioxidants. They contain high levels of zinc which builds your immune system. They also contain phosphorus, copper and magnesium which helps build strong bones.
Healthy lunch or dinner, a must try!
Enjoy
