How to Cook Prawns in 5 Easy Steps
Method
- To cook 1kg of prawns, bring 2.5 litres of water to the boil and add 2 tablespoons of sea salt.
- Add your defrosted, raw prawns to the boiling water.
- Allow the water to return to the boil and cook for approximately 2 minutes. Prawns are ready when they begin to float to the top. To check, remove one prawn and hold it up to the light, it’s cooked once the shell starts to separate from the meat.
- As soon as they’re cooked, remove them immediately from the boiling water and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Peel and enjoy.
