With moderation
Food

Prawns are moderate-purine shellfish, safe in small servings but can raise uric acid more than other moderate foods.

Your feedback
Good for you

A palm-sized portion (100-120g) once or twice a week is acceptable when uric acid is controlled. Boiling reduces purines slightly and pairing with low-fat dairy helps excretion.

Bad for you

Their purines convert aggressively to uric acid. Avoid pairing with beer, high-fructose drinks, or red meat, and skip entirely during a flare or if uric acid is uncontrolled.
