Suggested Cooking & Holding

Note: Sidestripe shrimp are Individually Quick Frozen [IQF] tails packaged in 1 lbs. packs.  There is no need to thaw shrimp for any recipe requiring unpeeled shrimp.  Sidestripe shrimp will require thawing for any recipe that requires peeled* shrimp.

Grill: [unpeeled]

  • 400 degrees indirect  or low flame.
  • Skewer and baste sidestripe shrimp then cook for 8-10 min. or for 5 minutes longer than it takes for the tails to curl.
  • When done, allow sidestripe shrimp to rest for 4 minutes before serving.
  • 7-10 shrimp per person.  Lemon, salt and pepper to taste.

Deep Fry: [Unpeeled]

  • Eat the shells with the shrimp. Sidestripe shrimp have thin delicate shells that get crispy when deep fried at high temperatures.
  • Thoroughly dry sidestripe shrimp before deep frying to avoid water into hot grease which can cause serious burns.  Use caution when deep frying.

  • In a hot lightly oiled skillet, sear the peeled sidestripe shrimp tails for 5 minutes until curled tails.
  • Cook covered for an additional 5 minutes.

Amanda’s Serving Suggestions

It is not necessary to thaw spot prawns before cooking unless your recipe requires peeled spot prawns with the prawn tail shells removed before cooking.

Steam:

  • Bring water to a boil and season as desired before steaming frozen spot prawns. Cover and steam for up to 25 minutes.
  • A plate over an inverted bowl may be used in place of a steamer rack to prevent boiling spot prawns. CAUTION! Do not touch hot plate, bowl or steamer rack. Use tongs while handling spot prawns.
  • Spot Prawns are fully cooked about 5 minutes after the tails curl. Stir prawns to assure even doneness.
  • Approximate cooking time is 18 minutes for frozen spot prawns.  Once the frozen spot prawns have been added to the pot, begin timer after the hot water returns to a boil. Allow 5-7 minutes for hot water to return to a boil.

Grill:

  • 300 degrees for skewered spot prawn tails.
  • Baste spot prawn tails with oil and season as desired
  • Peeled spot prawns tails – grill for 6-7 minutes turning once.
  • Shells on spot prawns tails – grill 10-18 minutes turning as needed.
  • Spot Prawns are fully cooked about 5 minutes after the tails curl. Turn skewered prawns to assure even doneness.

Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Add light oil and season as desired
  • Peeled spot prawn tails – cook for 12 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Shell on spot prawn tails – cook for 20 minutes per inch of thickness.

Pan Sear:

  • Heat lightly oiled skillet to the smoke point then place peeled spot prawn tails in hot skillet to cook for approximately 8-10 minutes.
