A 1kg box of cooked, shell-on king prawns at the 20–30 size grade — 20 to 30 generously sized prawns per pack. Sustainably farmed and cooked at source, with the shell intact to keep the meat sweet and succulent through freezing. A versatile pack for everyday cooking — once regarded as a luxury, now a mid-week staple — and excellent value compared to fresh equivalents from the fish counter.

How to serve king prawns
Already cooked, so the only thing to avoid is overcooking — they turn rubbery quickly. Warm through gently for hot dishes, or serve cold straight from the fridge.
- Prawn cocktail: defrost, peel, dress with Marie Rose sauce on a bed of shredded lettuce — the British classic.
- Stir-fry: add peeled prawns to the wok in the last 90 seconds — only enough to warm through.
- Pasta: toss through hot garlic-and-chilli linguine off the heat, finish with parsley.
- Curry or Thai dishes: add at the very end of the simmer, warm through for 1–2 minutes.
- Sharing platter: serve shell-on with garlic mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce and lemon wedges.
Pair with a chilled Californian or Australian Chardonnay, or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc for cold preparations.
