Top Culinary Uses

Pro Tip: Because these are colossal and peeled, they can overcook quickly if you aren't careful. Aim for an opaque, pearly white center with a bright pink exterior. They usually need only 2–3 minutes per side.

• Garlic Butter Sauté: The best way to enjoy 8/12s. Sauté with lots of garlic, butter, and a splash of lemon juice to let the natural flavor shine.

• Shrimp Scampi: Toss with linguine, white wine, and fresh parsley for a high-end restaurant experience at home.

• Prawn Tempura: The massive size makes them perfect for the long, crispy Japanese-style "Ebi" tempura.

• Stir-Fry: Perfect for "Sizzling Prawn" dishes with bell peppers and black bean sauce.

Handling 

• Thawing: Place the required amount in a bowl of cold water for 10–15 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure a good sear rather than steaming.
