Defrosting prawns
Fridge:
This is the best method to defrost prawns. To do
so;
-
Place in a covered container in the fridge
overnight.
Cold water:
This method can cause the prawns to lose flavour,
and also wastes water, so it is a second choice
to using the refrigerator. To do so;
-
Place prawns in a colander & run COLD water
over them until defrosted. This should take
around 5 minutes.
Or
-
Put prawns in an airtight bag, ensuring no
water can get in.
-
Fill a large bowl with cold water & place
prawns in bowl.
-
Change water every 30 minutes.
Microwave:
It is not recommended that you defrost prawns in
the microwave.
