Smoked Dried King Prawn 100g

Description

Smoked Dried King Prawn 100g is whole king prawns that have been smoked and dried rather than frozen raw — giving a deep, smoky concentrated flavour used to season Nigerian soups and stews. Unlike fresh or frozen prawns, there's no shell-peeling or quick-thaw needed; a short rinse or soak is all the prep required.

How to prepare

• Rinse briefly, or soak for a few minutes if you prefer a softer texture, then add directly to your pot.
• Add to egusi, okra soup, ogbono, banga stew, jollof rice or stir-fries for an intense savoury boost.

Storage

• Store sealed in a cool, dry place. For longer keeping, store in the freezer.

Frequently asked

Do I need to thaw this like fresh prawns?

No — being smoked and dried, it just needs a quick rinse or short soak, not the careful thawing fresh or frozen prawns need.

What dishes is it used in?

Egusi, okra soup, ogbono, banga stew and other West African soups that benefit from a deep, smoky seafood flavour.
