storage
Fridge - Prawn recipes are best eaten fresh. At a push, they can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.
Reheating Prawns - If you need to reheat leftovers. you can add a splash of water to a pan and reheat them slowly until warmed through. You can reheat them in the microwave too.
Freezer - I would not recommend freezing cooked prawns.
tips and hints for Prawn Curry Recipe
- Prawns require very little cooking. Over cooking makes them rubbery and tough.
