M&S Crispy Prawns
What it is
These are pre-cooked prawns that have been coated in a light, crispy batter. They are designed for quick preparation and are often found in the chilled section of a grocery store. The prawns are typically small to medium in size and are meant to be heated before serving. They offer a convenient way to enjoy seafood with a satisfying crunch.
How people cook with it
These crispy prawns are a versatile addition to many meals and snacks. They can be served as a starter or as part of a main course.
- As a starter with dipping sauce
- In a salad
- With rice or noodles
- As a side dish
To prepare, these prawns are best heated in an oven or air fryer to maintain their crispiness. Place them on a baking sheet and cook according to package directions until golden brown and heated through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the coating soggy. They are delicious served immediately after heating, allowing the exterior to remain delightfully crunchy and the interior prawn to be tender.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh prawns, these are already cooked and coated, saving preparation time. The batter provides a distinct crispy texture that is different from plain cooked prawns. They are designed for convenience and a specific textural experience.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy seafood option that appeals to a wide range of tastes.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining prawns in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within two days of opening. Ensure they are kept chilled to maintain freshness and food safety.
