Prawns are beloved across the world and feature in many cuisines, favoured for their firm but delicate texture and their subtle flavour. These large frozen prawn cutlets come peeled, with only the tails left on, making it easy for you to enjoy their succulent, sweet flavour, and their high protein content.
Prawns are grey when raw, but cook quickly to a soft pink colour. An incredibly versatile protein, there’s almost nothing Prawn Cutlet can’t be used for. They’re great in noodle and rice dishes, curries, or as finger food on their own - maybe breaded and fried. They are also the star of the show in a classic prawn cocktail. It is important to note that prawns cook quickly and that overcooking may cause the flesh to become tough. When cooking, add them to the heat as late as possible. Prawns are popular just served cold with a simple dipping sauce. Their flavour will be enhanced by marinating in olive oil, lemon juice and lashings of garlic for one hour to tenderise and par-cook the flesh.
Our Prawn Cutlet has a firm texture, with a flavoursome bite and clean finish. It is always better to undercook rather than overcooking them, as they will continue to cook in the residual heat. It is perfect to throw through a stir fry, pasta or simply battered and shallow fried.
