These are the largest raw peeled king prawns we can get hold of, and we weigh them after the ice has melted off, which is rarer than it should be.
- One 250g pack, about 8 prawns (weight after defrosting)
- Garlic butter, chilli and a hot pan: 2–3 minutes, until pink and curled
- One pack makes a main for two, or a starter for four
Every peeled prawn is frozen with a thin coat of ice, called a glaze, to stop it drying out in the freezer. Ours carry about 20%. Some carry up to 50%, which is a clever way of selling water at prawn prices. So when you compare us with a cheaper pack, check whose weight includes the ice (ours doesn't).
They're farmed in Vietnam. You'd struggle to find this size in a supermarket, which is why they're one of the things we sell most of.
How to cook raw peeled king prawns
Pan: butter or olive oil, garlic and chilli, 2–3 minutes, turning once. They're done the moment they turn pink.
Barbecue: thread onto skewers so they don't fall through the grill, 2 minutes a side.
Curry or pasta: add them for the last 3 minutes only. Overcooked prawns go rubbery.
Storage and defrosting
Keep frozen. Defrost overnight in the fridge, or in a sealed bag in cold water for about 30 minutes. Cook within 24 hours and don't refreeze.
Questions
How many prawns are in a pack?
About 8 in 250g.
Why do you quote the defrosted weight?
Because that's the prawn you actually eat. The glaze melts away.
Do they need deveining?
No, they're peeled and ready to cook.
What are the allergens?
Crustaceans. Ingredients: prawns, water, stabilisers (E450, E451, E452) and salt.
