How to:
Cook prawns perfectly
Prawns can be tricky to cook if you're a novice. Here's how to get it right every time.
If frozen make sure they are completely defrosted. The best way to defrost is to keep them wrapped in cling wrap and immersed in cold water.
To shell, twist the head off, next remove the legs and pull off the shell.
To devein take a thin sharp knife and run along the vein, run under cold water to clean.
When stir frying prawns they take very little time to cook through, about 30 seconds and if grilling, around 1 minute.
