Just trying to avoid rubbery prawns 😐 Any suggestions? Buy pre-cooked and add last minute? Flash fry on griddle and add? I guess griddling "shell-on" is the best way to avoid moisture loss but that makes eating the curry a bit of a faff. Any suggestions?
Pre-cooked? No!
I peel mine, and then add them at the last minute before serving. Only takes a couple of minutes in the curry to cook 'em through.
Grilled/fried shell on is lovely when you're eating them just as prawns, though.
Nom.
Raw and added at the last minute here too - I only end up with rubbery ones when i've forgotten to get them out of the freezer soon enough and they're a bit frozen still when i chuck them in the sauce - I then tend to overcook to make sure I don't die of horrible food poisoning...
Ok, thanks chaps. Will try raw and add them at the end for a few minutes.
Raw defrosted from frozen at the end. "Fresh" raw prawns are just ones that have been frozen for shipping and then defrosted for display in the shop. Defrost yourself = fresher.
Although to be honest in a thai curry I'd struggle to tell between raw and ready cooked... Just don't cook/reheat them for too long to avoid the rubberyness.
If you use the ready cooked ones just chuck them in the bowl before serving. They'll warm through quick enough.
