QuestionI have got tiger prawns cooked and peeled in the freezer, what is the best way to thaw them, and how long do I heat them before eating?Community AnswerYou'll want to thaw the prawns in the refrigerator only. It's just too risky to leave them on the counter. I would heat the thawed prawns in a skillet over low-medium heat just until warm. You don't want to overcook them, and shrimp will overcook faster than anything else I can think of.

QuestionI have the small cleaned prawns which are frozen, I think it has the thin shell on them, I would like to fry them quickly and finish them off in a garlic sauce. They get watery in the pan.Community AnswerRemove the shells and lightly saute them in a little butter or oil. Remove them from the heat as soon as they start to turn white. Make the garlic sauce, and fold the prawns into the hot sauce just prior to serving - that should keep them from watering down the sauce.
