Can I defrost prawns quickly by?

[Ikeasucks]

Pouring hot water over them?

Is this getting thawing yet?

I'm just hoping, if Prawn is worried about being run under cold water, that nobody mentions what happens once defrostification is complete.

It's like a sort of seafood gulag, Prawn, you'll love it! Plenty of dressing and a nice bed of lettuce to rest on ...

Nut free, though.

🤣

Shrimplification.

I love and celebrate all seafood equally.

But I don’t want to find a surprise cockle in my prawn-avo.

Well, we got through that post without anybody mentioning winkles.

Well done, all.

Defrost in cold water. End
No debate.

Excuse me FemaleAndLearning I am going to mussel you off this thread if you insist on such totalitarian scallops as #nodebate .

“Well, we got through that post without anybody mentioning winkles.

You’re whelk-come.

There's not much I can add to this conversation, but I need to mussle in just to ask if anyone has mentioned crabs?

Now, THOSE can be not only defrosted in cold water but boiled live, so do be careful.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for literal violence you commit on yourself.

The main question surely is what you do once they are defrosted?
is there any way to combine them with Weetabix and/or bananas?

Take the minimal effort approach - leave the prawns to defrost slowly at room temperature.

On second thawts, this only works if you are not pushed for time.

We all just need to clam down 🦪

Prawnabix. Warm water. Bananas. Pom bears. It's a Mumsnet dinner party.

You don't need to defrost at all unless they're frozen into a solid block. If they're loose and frozen, into the saucepan with them, and don't overcook. That's all there is to it.

Someone just had to take Banana Weetabix Horror as a challenge...

They should never shrimp from the task!

fantastic thread - I shall never look at prawns in the same light again

Lol, had no idea this mistake had taken off so swimmingly- sorry i scampired and missed the fun 🦐

THERE'S A PRAWN EMOTICON?!?@

I tried to change usernames to celebrate but failed miseralobsterly.

Thanks for the thread OP.

Once cooked these prawns will self identify as women. They now have little pink bodies obviously!
