Useful Cooking Tips
Prawns are the most fervently loved and adored sea food in the world. They are as easy to cook as they are delicious to eat. Here is a word of caution and carefulness – prawn meat is very soft and delicate and there are greater possibilities of prawns getting spoilt than other traditional meat. So we are presenting a few tips that will be helpful to you in cooking tasty and delicious prawns.
If overcooked, all prawns may acquire a hard and rubbery taste. This is not because they are frozen. Actually prawns and all other sea foods are fresh when frozen and very tender when thawed. If cooked properly, they will taste soft and juicy with a slight crunch.
Flavourful oils like olive oil, mustard oil should be preferred to refined oils.
It is desirable to add prawns to a curry in the end and not with the masalas. While cooking prawns on the barbecue, prawns should be wrapped as intense heat may damage the flesh. While poaching, it is better to cook whole prawns in simmering water (below boiling point) for a couple of minutes and then stop the cooking process by pouring ice cold water on it once cooked.
Unlike mutton, prawns get flavoured very fast. Retaining their mild oceanic flavours, they quickly absorb the additional flavours. So only a little of seasoning can work miracles on prawns. Prawn meat being very delicate and soft, one has to be very careful in seasoning it with chilly and pepper so that its natural original flavours do not get lost.
Marination time varies with marinade. Acidic marinades like lemon juice take 30 minutes for marination. But more than 30 minutes of marination may break down the delicate meat and make it less firm. Non-acidic marinades such as olive oil, garlic, herbs, etc. require about one hour for marination and if prawns are put inside the fridge, their marination takes a longer time.
Frozen prawns must be completely defrosted before they are placed on heat. Here is a 3 step method:
1. Transfer the contents of the pack into a polybag.
2. Poke some holes in the polybag for it to remain fresh.
3. Place the polybag in a container of water for 20 minutes.
You will find all these instructions on the pack of bag also so that you can read them conveniently.
Once prawns are thawed, they should be used as early as possible and they must not be place for re-freezing.
