Essential Peeled Prawns

What is it?

Frozen and peeled, these prawns come ready to use straight from the bag. They’re MSC-certified and sit in Waitrose’s Essential range, which tends to keep things plain and straightforward. With the shells removed, there’s less prep before they go into pasta, curries, stir-fries, or a quick seafood salad. Because they’re frozen, you’ll usually defrost them before cooking or eating, depending on the recipe. Compared with shell-on prawns, these are built for convenience, with the focus on clean, simple prawns rather than extra seasoning or sauce.
