I like to keep a supply of frozen prawns in the freezer. They are great in risotto, with pasta, in stir fry, on skewers and even on pizza. Very versatile and super quick to cook.

I find the best way to defrost them is in water …and it takes less than ten minutes!
How to Defrost Frozen Prawns
- Put the prawns into a large bowl and completely cover with cold water
- After a few minutes pour off the water (it will be icy cold) and add some more fresh water
- Repeat the last step a couple more times and the prawns are ready to cook
Handy Hints
- Don’t be tempted to add hot or even warm water – the prawns will start to cook
- To save time, buy frozen prawns that are ready peeled and deveined
- Remember they don’t take long to cook
- Serve prawns with lemon wedges – they were made for each other
- Don’t skimp on the garlic when making garlic prawns
