Frozen Raw Large Prawns

About this item

These are taken from the water whole, heads on and shells intact, then frozen while the tail is still curled. That curl is worth keeping: it holds the flesh tight against the shell, so the flesh stays firm through a hot pan instead of turning to mush. Size lands comfortably in the palm, which makes them practical for a grill, a shallow fry or a quick poach. Because they are raw, they take on whatever you cook them in.
