Raw frozen prawns are prawns that have been caught and frozen while still raw, often within hours to lock in freshness. They can be sold either peeled and deveined, or with the shell on, and are a convenient and versatile option for cooking a wide variety of dishes.
Characteristics
Raw state: The prawns have not been cooked before being frozen.
Frozen: They are preserved by freezing, often individually quick frozen (IQF) or packed with a protective ice glaze to maintain quality.
Peeled and/or shell-on: They are available in different forms, such as peeled, headless, or with the shell on, for convenience and flavor.
Pre-prepared: Some are sold pre-peeled and deveined, ready for immediate use after thawing.
Freshness: Freezing them soon after catching helps to preserve their texture, flavor, and nutrients.
Uses and cooking
Versatile: Suitable for many recipes, such as curries, paellas, stir-fries, and grilled dishes.
Thawing: For best results, it is recommended to defrost them in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
Cooking: They must be cooked thoroughly before serving and can be pan-fried, grilled, or added to sauces and stews.
