Prawns are high in lean protein, low in fat, and rich in vitamin B12—important for brain health, mood balance, and energy. They're also a good source of iodine and selenium, two nutrients many people don’t get enough of. For ADHD brains, this combo means prawns can help you stay fuelled and focused without the sluggish crash.

• Frozen is best for long shelf life, flexibility, and minimal prep. Choose peeled, raw or pre-cooked depending on your vibe.
• Look for responsibly sourced labels like MSC or ASC to support sustainable fishing.
• Avoid heavily processed prawn rings or flavoured packs—they're often full of additives. Stick toones that only have prawns listed on the ingredients.

• Frozen: Keep a bag in the freezer at all times. They defrost fast under cold running water or can be cooked straight from frozen.
• Fresh: Use the same day or freeze immediately. Label with the date.
• Leftovers: Cooked prawns can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently or eat cold.

• From Frozen: Run under cold water in a colander for 5–10 mins or chuck straight in the pan/air fryer.
• Dry Them: If defrosting, pat dry with kitchen towel for better texture.
• Don’t Overcook: They’re done when pink and curled into a C-shape—just a few minutes.
