Cooked Greenland Prawns
What it is
These are large, cooked Greenland prawns that have already been peeled. They are sourced from the cold, clean waters of Greenland, known for producing sweet and succulent shellfish. The prawns are typically frozen shortly after being caught to preserve their freshness and texture. This product is ready to be incorporated into a variety of dishes, saving preparation time in the kitchen.

To use, simply thaw the prawns in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for a faster defrost. Once thawed, they can be added directly to cold dishes such as salads, prawn cocktails, or sandwiches. For hot preparations, add them towards the end of cooking to prevent them from becoming tough. They can be gently heated in sauces, stir-fries, or added to pasta dishes just before serving. Avoid overcooking, as this can diminish their delicate flavor and tender texture.
How it differs from similar foods
These large Greenland prawns are distinguished by their sweet flavor and firm, meaty texture, which is a result of their cold-water origin. Compared to smaller or farmed prawns, they offer a more substantial bite and a cleaner taste profile, making them ideal for showcasing their natural quality.

How to keep the rest
Once thawed, keep refrigerated and consume within 24 hours. Do not refreeze. For unopened packages, store in the freezer at -18°C or colder until the best before date. Ensure the packaging remains sealed to maintain quality.
