For this reason, prawns from far away shores, such as King and Tiger prawns, are either cooked as soon as they are caught, or frozen before being shipped to the UK. If you want super-fresh raw prawns, you will have to settle for the slightly smaller though just as delicious Northern prawn, which luckily are one of the most sustainable shellfish you can get in this part of the world.
To check the freshness of a prawn, look at their tails to make sure that they are still firm and taut. Store prawns in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or so or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Prawn sustainability varies greatly, depending on the type of prawn and where they were caught or farmed. Prawns are a versatile ingredient that can be cooked using a range of methods - poaching, grilling , pan-frying or as a tempura are all common techniques.
For dishes like tempura , the prawns will need to be shelled and de-veined prior to cooking. Just like any meat bones, prawns shells can make a flavoursome stock, perfect for a base flavour for risottos , sauces or soups. All of these methods take no more than 5 minutes, as prawns cook very quickly. An overcooked prawn can tend towards the rubbery side, so get them away from the heat as soon as they're ready.
Take a look at what's new and get inspired. Hold the tail and then lift the shell upwards and away from the body. You could also use kitchen scissors by cutting through the middle of the shell and peeling it away from both sides.
The tail is usually kept on for decorative purposes although it can easily be removed by gently pulling it off. As with the shell and heads, the black vein that runs across the back of prawn and shrimp may be removed before or after cooking. These veins are in fact edible but if eaten they can taste gritty and dirty, particularly with larger prawns or shrimp.
To remove the vein from a shelled prawn or shrimp, trace the line of the vein with the edge of a sharp thin knife or a cocktail stick and then rinse it under a running tap. The vein should wash away but if it does not, use the end of the knife or cocktail stick to draw the vein out.
It is possible to remove the black vein from the prawn or shrimp with the shell still on. This can be done, although it is quite tricky, by carefully drawing out the vein in one go from one end of the prawn or shrimp. If this is not possible, cut the shell or part of the shell with a small knife or scissors and lift out the vein. This is probably the most common method of cooking prawns and shrimp, particularly the smaller types.
It is really important not to overcook the prawns, although they need to be properly cooked at the same time. Depending on the size, prawns and shrimp should be cooked in a matter of minutes.
Larger prawns will take a few more minutes. You can tell when prawns and shrimp are cooked, as they will turn a pink colour. As a guide, small - medium sized shrimp will take 3 - 4 minutes, large shrimp will take 5 - 8 minutes and jumbo shrimp or prawn will need 7 - 8 minutes cooking time. To boil 1 lb of prawns or shrimp carry out the following steps: Fill a saucepan with 2 litres of water and add 2 tablespoons of sea salt.
