PRAWNS

Prawns are meaty crustaceans with a distinctive sweetness and great health benefits. They are rich in vitamin B12 and a source of selenium, which plays an important role in the body’s antioxidant defence system to help prevent damage to cells and tissue.

Our prawns

There are numerous varieties of prawns including cooked peeled prawns which don’t need any preparation and are ready to eat.
Tiger prawns (so called because of their striped tail) are large prawns native to the Far East and are a blue grey colour when raw but beautifully pink once cooked.

How to cook prawns
Prawns can be used in a wide variety of recipes, ranging from prawn cocktail to stir-fried prawns and prawn curry. Cooked peeled prawns can be served in salads, sandwiches or
stirred into pasta just before serving.
