Precooked Prawns

[RedHotPokers]

I normally buy precooked king prawns and do a prawn salad. However, what else can I do with precooked Prawns? How do I (re)heat them up/cook them safely, say in a pasta dish or curry? Is this do-able with precooked prawns, or only with raw??

TIA

They're already safe to eat as they are so, if you add them to another dish, all you're doing is taking them from cold & safe to warm & safe. Don't cook them or they can shrivel and go rubbery. In a pasta or curry dish, therefore, cook the sauce until done, turn off the heat, stir in the cooked prawns and let them sit for a couple of minutes until warmed through. If the pre-cooked prawns are frozen, allow them to defrost 100% and then treat the same way.

Thanks! I think I just have shellfish fear .

So basically, once the pasta/curry sauce is cooked, I take it off the heat, and then chuck the prawns in, stir and leave it for a few minutes. And it doesn't matter that the prawns aren't piping hot then?

Personally I boil them in the sauce for a minute or two so they are hot, but don't cook too long as they will go rubbery.
