Can I defrost prawns quickly by?

[Ikeasucks]

Pouring hot water over them?

What fresh shell is this?

Well, women are often told not to be shellfish, so I think this very appropriate.

Funniest thread ever, thanks OP

She sells sea shells on the seashore
The shells she sells are seashells I'm sure.

Not He, They, Him just SHE.
And we are all sure of that.

That's unacceptably clamsphobic, WrathofFaeKlopp

Plain and shrimple.

I think we've scared away the OP 😢 with these fishy puns.

I hope she finds her way back to the right board safely without getting lost again.

She did seem a little accident prawn.

Are they King Prawns OP?
If so, have you asked them whether they are perpetuating an oppressive patriarchal prawn system of rule?

Also don’t leave them under running water too long or they will lose their flavour.

OP has probably never heard of Lang.

This must be a first - a thread on FWR - that needs to be in Classics
You lot are shrimply hilarious

Yay OP knows all about us, she's posted here often.
Sorry op, I hope your prawns were pink, tasty and beautifully cooked.

• I adore prawn cocktail in half an avocado with a generous squeeze of lemon.

It's my guilty secret*

Jeez Fanny, eating a whole tub of Haagen Dazs is a guilty secret.

Owning Ronan Keating's greatest hits is a guilty secret.

A middle aged cannabis habit, is a guilty secret!

Enjoy your prawn and avocado guilt free!

Watch and wait. If you're v lucky it might identify as a lobster!

I love you all 😆

Op has clammed up and she'll not return to sea the rest of this thread

You didn't see me, right.

Prawns in warmish water is fine.

Being a committed feminist I don't defrost prawns for any men but I do for my cat who won't eat them cold!

All this defrosting advice is most useful - very well thawed out.

Thaw and make gumbo (the only acceptable use for prawns/crawdads :P).

Nice to see FWR flex their collective linguistic mussels....

What is the Gillick competence of a prawn? Are you sure they can consent to defrosting?

It is at times like these we need to hear from LangustineCleg

I've been keeping well away from this thread. However chilly I'm feeling the thought of sitting in a sieve under cold running water does not appeal.

Prawnofthepatriarchy you can run, but you can't hide... the sieve is after you...

It's soooo unfair! A whole thread about running me under cold water.
