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.
