Cooking Ideas
Large prawns are known for their flexibility in the kitchen:
-
Grilled: With herbs or masala, they get a smoky finish
-
Fried: Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside
-
Curried: They soak up spices beautifully and add depth to any gravy

Expect a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a firm, juicy texture. These prawns stay tender after cooking and pair well with both light herbs and bold desi spices.

-
Garlic, lemon, butter, or light green chutney
-
Served alongside steamed rice, naan, or grilled veggies
How to Identify Fresh Prawns
