Once cooked these prawns will self identify as women. They now have little pink bodies obviously!

Grin fantastic thread - I shall never look at prawns in the same light again

Someone just had to take Banana Weetabix Horror as a challenge...
They should never shrimp from the task!

Prawnabix. Warm water. Bananas. Pom bears. It's a Mumsnet dinner party.

You don't need to defrost at all unless they're frozen into a solid block. If they're loose and frozen, into the saucepan with them, and don't overcook. That's all there is to it.

We all just need to clam down 🦪

Take the minimal effort approach - leave the prawns to defrost slowly at room temperature.

On second thawts, this only works if you are not pushed for time.

Didactylos · 05/03/2020 11:17

The main question surely is what you do once they are defrosted?
is there any way to combine them with Weetabix and/or bananas?

Lamahaha · 05/03/2020 04:13

There's not much I can add to this conversation, but I need to mussle in just to ask if anyone has mentioned crabs?

Now, THOSE can be not only defrosted in cold water but boiled live, so do be careful.

You’re whelk-come.

Languishingfemale · 04/03/2020 22:55

Excuse me FemaleAndLearning I am going to mussel you off this thread if you insist on such totalitarian scallops as #nodebate . Wink

FemaleAndLearning · 04/03/2020 22:42

Defrost in cold water. End
No debate.

I love and celebrate all seafood equally.

But I don’t want to find a surprise cockle in my prawn-avo.

WhatKatyDidNot · 04/03/2020 16:42

nobody mentions what happens once defrostification is complete

Shrimplification.

Datun · 04/03/2020 13:36

Nut free, though.

🤣

ScrimshawTheSecond · 04/03/2020 12:45

I'm just hoping, if Prawn is worried about being run under cold water, that nobody mentions what happens once defrostification is complete.

It's like a sort of seafood gulag, Prawn, you'll love it! Plenty of dressing and a nice bed of lettuce to rest on ... Confused

TinselAngel · 04/03/2020 12:37

Is this getting thawing yet?

HelgaHere1 · 04/03/2020 12:08

DN is a chef. Frozen prawns put in warm water are binned. Defrost in cold water.

@Binterested I think you might just win

Barracker · 04/03/2020 12:03

I was observed ginger at birth, TheProdigalKittensReturn, but I object vehemently to you coercively ascribing crab to my identity.
As for chilli! Just because I is ginger doesn't mean I identify with hot and spicy stuff. Educate yourself.

LangClegTheBeardedVulture · 04/03/2020 10:48

Its lovely to sea FWR coming together for a good pun-off.

Really warms the cockles of my heart.
