How to buy and store prawns (courtesy of Super food ideas)

 

Prawns are a versatile meal solution. Follow these tips on buying and storing prawns.

• When buying cooked or green (raw) prawns, look for firmly attached heads (with antennae intact) and tight, firm shells.
• They should also have a fresh sea smell. Buy prawns (raw and cooked) as close as possible to the time you intend using them.
• You can freeze prawns (raw and cooked) for up to 3 months.
