I took some large, unshelled king prawns out of the freezer at approx 1pm and put them in a bowl. In my haste to leave the house I forgot to put them in the fridge and they sat on the kitchen counter for 3.5 hours until I got home, where I found them defrosted but still cold, and submerged in cold water.
They're still alright to eat, right? I was so excited about my curry!
Caveat: I will not be feeding them to my son...
