Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: What does HO/SO mean?
- A: HO/SO stands for Head-On, Shell-On. This means the prawns are completely unprocessed in terms of shell removal, keeping the head, shell, and tail intact for maximum moisture and rich flavor retention.
- Q: How should I thaw HO/SO prawns before cooking?
- A: Transfer the desired portion from the freezer to the refrigerator and let them thaw slowly overnight. For a quicker option, place them in a sealed bag and submerge in cold water for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Q: Can I remove the shells and heads before cooking?
- A: Yes! While keeping them on enhances flavor in broths and curries, you can easily snap off the heads and peel the shells by hand before cooking if you prefer a cleaner bite for stir-fries or pan-searing.
- Q: What dishes are best suited for head-on, shell-on prawns?
- A: They excel in dishes where the juices enrich the sauce, such as spicy Indian prawn curries, seafood boils, Spanish garlic shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo), and aromatic noodle soups.
