Did you know...
Raw or "green" prawns are best for dishes that require cooking the prawns, as they are tough and dry if cooked twice. To make salads or sandwiches, buy firm and shiny pink (cooked) prawns.
Prawns are best stored in a plastic container with a drainer inside it. Cover with a wet cloth and a few ice cubes, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the coldest part of the fridge. Use within two days.
You can freeze unpeeled raw prawns in a plastic container. Just cover with water, seal and freeze for up to 3 months. the frozen water insulates the prawns perfectly.
