But grilling them tonight probably means thawing them too fast. To maximize your chances of getting a decent result in terms of texture you usually want to thaw them in the fridge as slowly as possible. I have even put them (in a bag) on ice in the fridge to slow the process down. - aem |

Prawns (aka shrimp) last about 5 mins in my household!!! Any prawns come to Peters' house, you can hear them yelling....... "Dead Prawn walking, dead prawn walking!!" Was supposed to be having a bit of a party this long Easter weekend, but it's been pushed back for a bit till we get all the new furniture in. (Yes, it's that time of the year again!!) I've already warned out my local fisho that I will be putting in a *huge* order for prawns as soon as we have the date set :-) -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.

Heh! :-) It is rare for them to last that long here too... but occasionally a package gets buried in the freezer accidently, and forgotten about, just like in this case. I recently unearthed an 18 month old package! It was fine. > > Was supposed to be having a bit of a party this long Easter weekend, but > it's been pushed back for a bit till we get all the new furniture in. > (Yes, it's that time of the year again!!) > > I've already warned out my local fisho that I will be putting in a > *huge* order for prawns as soon as we have the date set :-) I'll be preparing some later today for a Birthday dinner, along with the stuffed catfish and baked salmon. ;-d Sea food tonight!!! -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

I went and bought a whole load of meat yesterday, rump, rib fillet, ham, lamb steaks (not for me!!), chicken titties, mince etc... and the butchers has a large seafood section, so I came away with 1&1/2 kgs of large prawns, so around 4pm we'll be cracking a bottle or two of bubbly and hoeing into a large pile of prawns out on the deck. -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.

I need to grill prawns again. The smoked flavor is very complimentary. Wrapping them in bacon is a thought too. I decided to forego the stuffed catfish! Dad bought enough veggies to feed an army!

I was attempting to have everything come out at the same time as the fish. Steaming worked and was expedient. :-) The Dill weed topping was tasty and they were still slightly crisp, but thanks! > > I had a friend who vowed *never* to eat as. spears because all she'd > ever had was the tinned type.
