Prawns, also known as shrimp in some regions, are a versatile and popular type of seafood. Characterized by their elongated body, delicate pink or gray translucent shell, and sweet, slightly salty flavor, prawns offer a firm yet tender texture when cooked properly. These crustaceans are a rich source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a healthy and delicious addition to any meal. Fresh prawns are highly sought after for their superior taste and texture, although frozen prawns are a readily available and convenient alternative. Whether grilled, pan-fried, or used in curries and pasta dishes, prawns add a touch of elegance and flavor to a wide variety of cuisines.

Fresh prawns are highly perishable and should be stored properly to prevent spoilage. For short-term storage (1-2 days), keep prawns in the refrigerator in their original packaging or a sealed container, layered between ice. To maintain optimal freshness and flavor, use them as soon as possible. For longer storage, freeze prawns in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container, removing as much air as possible. Frozen prawns can last for several months.
