Tropical Seas Prawns 41/50 180g

Description

Tropical Seas Prawns 41/50 180g are mid-sized prawns — the 41/50 count means 41 to 50 prawns per pound, a versatile everyday size that's neither the largest king prawns nor the smallest shrimp. They cook quickly and work well in stir-fries, jollof rice, soups and stews.

How to prepare

• Thaw quickly under cold running water, peel if needed, then cook 2-4 minutes until pink.
• Add to seafood jollof, fried rice, pepper soup or stir-fries in the final few minutes of cooking to avoid overcooking.

Storage

• Keep frozen at -18°C until ready to use. Defrost in the fridge overnight — do not refreeze once thawed. Use within 24 hours of defrosting.

Frequently asked

What does the 41/50 count mean?

It's a sizing grade showing roughly how many prawns make up a pound — here, 41 to 50, a mid-size prawn good for everyday cooking.

How long should I cook them for?

Just 2-4 minutes once thawed — prawns toughen quickly if overcooked, so add them late in the cooking process.
