Defrosted in boiling water then fried them thoroughly.

Answers quickly please, just about to eat a nice lentil/bean/prawn curry. 🙂

I'm sure I've done it before but just checked the instructions on the pack and it says no. Internet search/yahoo answers is inconclusive so obviously I need to consult the oracle of STW.

Ta!

so long as you do it quickly then cook quickly they will be fine. Teh problem comes if you leave them warmish for hours

I do it all teh time. Never been sick

Cheers - well I'm eating it anyway so if you don't hear from me again assume death.

Hehe, good point!

Next question, can I eat the remains of it tomorrow? As long as I get it piping it it should be ok no? 🙂

Boiling water would have all but cooked them anyway. Safe as houses...

(assuming they had been fresh when frozen of course)

why even bother defrosting them, prawns generally cook fine from frozen ime.
