Got a big pack of cooked King prawns to use today, any recipes ideas that are not spicy?

I have admit that I don't eat prawns but my husband does.
I'll pop them in a stir fry ( sadly , with chillis, so no help there) and I'd either use sesame oil or sunflower oil ( if there's any left!) and maybe a dash of light soy sauce or a bit of oyster sauce.
I'd use any veg up that needs using say, tenderstem which I will have boiled for three minutes, baby corn , mushrooms, peppers and spring onions, carrot shaved with a peeler.
Noodles in last for a minute or two.

Failing that I'd make a creamy, lightly cheesy sauce and sprinkle some black pepper in.
Obviously lightly fry the prawns then add it to the sauce then toss in some ( already cooked) tagliatelle/spaghetti/linguine or any pasta that you've got.

Ah, just seen that they're already cooked, so just chuck them near the end to heat through.

I would make a white sauce. Mix with spinach. Then roll out puff pastry and have as a prawn tart.

Oh, and you could stir fry a pouch of one of those flavoured rices with a dribble of water and chuck the prawns in at the same time. Only take a couple of minutes.
Could stir fry onions/peppers /spring onions before adding the rice and prawns.

This recipe is lovely and even better second day.

As your prawns are cooked you can skip first part

Make a basic tomato sauce with onion, garlic and tinned tomatoes. Add prawns just before serving so they warm through. Stir through pasta.

Prawn, pancetta and Watercress risotto

Put them in ramekin dishes. Top with single cream to just below their level. Sprinkle with black pepper and nutmeg.

Crush salted crisps and put on top.

Put in over for 30m on 180.

Serve with fresh bread.

Yummmmmmmy

Though, as I clicked post, remembered you said no chilli doh Maybe leave that bit out?

Prawn tomato egg stir fry, served with rice

I do prawn stir fry.
But you could use them as part of a fish pie too.
