Lollipop Prawn Kushiyaki is one of Wagamama’s Big Flavour Bites starters — three grilled prawn skewers in a lemongrass and chilli marinade, served as a shareable side rather than a main. Here’s what’s actually in it, its calories and allergens, and how it compares to the rest of the shareables menu.
What’s In It
Wagamama describes Lollipop Prawn Kushiyaki as “three grilled skewers in lemongrass + chilli” — prawns skewered and grilled kushiyaki-style (the Japanese term for skewered, char-grilled food), finished in a lemongrass and chilli marinade. It’s listed on the official menu under Sides > Big Flavour Bites.
Calories and Nutrition

| Energy: 188 kcal (778 kJ) | 115 kcal (478 kJ) |
| Protein: 13.5g | 8.3g |
| Carbohydrates: 15.3g (of which sugars: 12.7g) | 9.4g (of which sugars: 7.8g) |

At 188 kcal for the full skewer portion, it’s one of the lighter items on the Big Flavour Bites list — for comparison, Chilli Squid comes in at 411 kcal and Ebi Katsu at 284 kcal on the same section of the menu. The sugar content (12.7g of the 15.3g carbs) comes from the sweet-savoury marinade rather than any deep-fried batter, since this is a grilled, not fried, skewer.
Allergens
Wagamama’s allergen tablet lists crustaceans, fish and sulphites for Lollipop Prawn Kushiyaki. Crustaceans and fish come from the prawns themselves (prawns fall under the “crustaceans” allergen category, though a fish-derived ingredient such as a sauce base can also trigger the separate “fish” listing); sulphites are commonly used as a preservative in seafood and some marinades. As with every dish, this reflects deliberately added ingredients — check our full allergen guide for how Wagamama handles cross-contact and “may contain” warnings before ordering if you have a shellfish or fish allergy.
Price
Wagamama doesn’t publish individual prices for its shareables and sides online, so we can’t give you a confirmed figure for this dish specifically — it will vary slightly by location. Check the price in-app or in-restaurant when ordering, or see our full sides, gyoza and bao guide for where it sits alongside the rest of the shareables menu.
How It Compares to Other Shareables
If you’re choosing between starters, Lollipop Prawn Kushiyaki is the lightest of the three Big Flavour Bites seafood options — Chilli Squid (411 kcal) and Ebi Katsu (284 kcal, panko-coated and fried) are both heavier, partly because they’re breaded or fried rather than grilled. For a shellfish-free option in the same section, Bang Bang Cauliflower (447 kcal, vegan) is the plant-based alternative.
