Prawns question

[piskieinboots]

Snowdrop made a lovely Jambalaya on Friday - it was huge and so I put the remains in the freezer. It has cooked prawns in it.

Can they be frozen, thawed and then reheated?


I honestly have no idea, but it was way to lovely to have to throw out.

As long as it was cooled and frozen fairly quickly after making there should be no problem. Enjoy.

Were they fresh prawns to start with or frozen? I think there can be a problem with things that have been thawed, cooked, then frozen again.

I think that as long as something has been cooked before its refrozen its OK but best to use it up fairly quickly.

They were fresh cooked prawns which he chucked in at the end to just heat through because I couldn't get fresh raw.

Thanks all

You can freeze pretty much anything that has just been cooked although obviously some things taste nicer than others - usually depends on texture. If they've just been warmed then it could well be different as they've not acutally been cooked and I'd be less confident.

I wouldn't worry as long as it's reheated thoroughly. I'd eat it anyway! Plus you're made me fancy Jambalaya now.
