Meat
Prawn meat is the peeled abdominal muscle—sweet, snappy, and versatile for stir-fries, curries, and cold cocktails. Size grades (count per pound or kilo) drive cook timing. Cook just until opaque and curled; residual heat finishes the centre. Salt late in wet dishes so the meat does not purge excess moisture.
