Hot and Sour Pickled Prawns for my dinner party

Asked on 30 Nov 2016 by Abbiesnan

re: Hot and Sour pickled prawns

I have 2 bags of frozen king prawns (already cooked, no shell etc.) and would like to use these to make the above when I have friends over for dinner shortly. Will it be OK to use frozen king prawns (thawed obviously!).

Also, I will be doubling up the recipe as there are 8 of us so is it OK to double up on ingredients lijke tabasco and worcester sauce?

They are coming to dinner on 3 December - help!!

Hello,

Yes you can make this recipe with frozen, cooked, shelled prawns. They are generally smaller so will you allow 6 prawns per person?

Yes I would double the ingredients for 8. We have been replacing the sliced lemon for lime, which works really well.

I hope the dinner party goes well.

Kind regards,

Lindsey

Many thanks Lindsey. Good tip about using limes - will give that a go.

When it comes to origin and tradition, the Italians know the value of their culinary heritage with each region celebrating the produce its rightly famous for. But how do you know you're buying the real deal?

The key is to look for the distinctive red and yellow PDO mark - Protected Designation of Origin. It’s your guarantee of authentic regional flavour, perfected over centuries and made to exacting traditional standards.
