Prior to Christmas I had read on one of the Facebook forums about Crystal Bay prawns. Most prawns are soaked in Sodium Metabisulphite as soon as they are caught. So even if you can tolerate amines, these are not suitable if you are trying to avoid preservatives. Crystal Bay prawns are the exception. They are available in the fridge section at the supermarket, cooked and packaged. And they taste great! If you can tolerate amines (prawns are very high in amines) or doing an amine challenge, these will be suitable. As they are caught and cooked fresh, then delivered to supermarkets, availability is seasonal, so keep an eye out. They may be off the shelves at the moment because of the cyclones in Queensland.
Crystal Bay Prawns
I was wandering through the Supermarket on New Years Eve, looking for inspiration – and there they were. Even though they were cooked I decide to shell them and gently reheat in some butter and garlic to serve. We also had chicken skewers and salads. My favourite salad this summer is potato and egg. This recipe is really easy, especially if you already have mayonnaise on hand, and you can add other ingredients to this base recipe. Oscar at least tried the prawn, but was not convinced – that did mean more for me though!
