Prawns Anyone?

[CaitlinRhiana]

Hi All,
I posted this in the sushi thread ( totaly changed the topic.. i know:confused:) i had no reply so i thought i would start it off fresh!

But what about Prawns?

Ive been told yes from some books/ web sites and no from others.

Im happy to cook them myself so i know they are fully cooked,but then have doubs weather it really matters.....

The crappy thing is i have a Massive craving for them and have for the past week..with some lettuce and cocktail sauce.. mmmm yum yum.....

and to make it worse....for some reason everytime i watch the food channel on Foxtel they are talking about or cooking with prawns..... not fair!!!! *smiles*


I know most people go with what ever they feel like i was just interestered on what the general feelings were on this?

I am 14 weeks and I have had heaps, my scan showed me a perfect little boy!
What's wrong with yummy prawns?

I think the general concern is that when the prawns are cold they can contain bacteria and if they are not actually cooked properly on the trawlers when caught, the worms that actually live in the prawns can be passed over to the baby and take the nutrients from the baby etc.

Also to watch is how reputable the place is where you get the prawns from. Im very fussy when it comes to prawns and prefer to get them straight off the trawlers or the local Co-op don the road from me here on the Coast, where they basically back the trawler into the shop LOL!

General rule with prawns is.. if they dont have a smell to them or strong odour, they are good, prawns aren't meant to have a strong fishy smell.

If you are worried about eating them cold and they are fresh, whip them up in a stir fry :)

Ate them all day yesterday, also had them with my other 2 pregnancies too but I agree get them from a good fishmonger not the supermarket

Go get some and enjoy mmmm..... I could go some now :flowerz:
