What it is
These are large, peeled, and deveined king prawns that have been pre-cooked and coated in a savory garlic butter sauce. The prawns are sourced for their size and texture, offering a convenient and flavorful seafood option. The sauce is typically made with butter, garlic, and seasonings, creating a rich and aromatic coating for the succulent prawns. They are ready to heat and serve, making meal preparation quick and easy.

To prepare, simply heat the prawns gently. You can do this in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sauce is bubbling and the prawns are heated through. Alternatively, they can be heated in a microwave according to package directions. Be careful not to overcook them, as this can make them tough. They are best served immediately after heating to enjoy their full flavor and tender texture. The garlic butter sauce will coat your chosen accompaniment beautifully.
