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.

I love the shrimp recipe! Makes perfect shrimp every time. I wanted to ask about the garlic butter sauce. How do you prepare the garlic for the butter? Do you dice it or mince it? Gloria, I put the whole cloves of garlic in the melted butter and let rest for about 8 minutes. Then, I remove the garlic cloves from the butter for serving. For future reference, there is a section in my post, How to Make Garlic Butter Sauce , that gives full instructions. I am anxious to try this recipe, but I have 3 questions.
