Freezing/reheating prawn curry?

[Methenyouplus4]

I know prawns are 'a bit funny' to repeat, and while I'm not super vigilant about such things, I'm going to batch cook meals for when twins arrive and I don't fancy having food poisoning with new babies!

Would this be the best method: make Thai curry sauce and allow it to cool fully. Add in frozen prawns then immediately freeze (so prawns don't defrost). When using, defrost in fridge then slowly cook so that prawns are being cooked (from frozen) for the first time.

If there is a better way or if I'm being overly cautious, please let me know!

In the past when I've used prawns in fish pie etc they have been cooked once in pie, frozen, then reheated at a later date to eat but not sure this is actually safe,?

Reheat, not repeat!

could you not make and freeze the sauce, then just add defrosted prawns into the reheated sauce?

Actually yes, that makes much more sense! Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees!

I would just make it and freeze it probably. but that way is better.

I would just add the prawns when you're ready to eat it yes.

I freeze sauce in portions, and buy frozen raw prawns. Then when I cook it, I pop the prawns into the sauce to cook

Yep, make tonnes of sauce then freeze, so you can then add fresh or frozen prawns, or veg, or chicken - whatever you have to hand really.
