Two 700g packs of cooked peeled prawns give you 1.4kg to work with. With a little planning, that can cover family dinners, lighter lunches or a mix of both.
How to Divide 1.4kg for Your Family
For a family of four, this simple prawn portion guide can help:
- 2 generous meals: Use about 700g for each family meal. About 175g of prawns per person.
- 3 lighter meals: Divide the prawns into roughly three portions and serve with rice, noodles, salad or vegetables.
- Dinner plus lunches: Use one pack for dinner and divide the second between wraps, rolls or salads.
You can use a smaller amount when cooked prawns are mixed through a larger dish. These are planning examples, so adjust them for your family’s appetite and what else is on the plate.
Use One Pack Now, Save One for Later
You don’t need to open both packs at once. If one 700g pack is enough for the meal, keep the second unopened until you need it.
- Plan each pack around a meal before opening it.
- Only prepare the amount your family needs.
- Store the prawns according to the directions on the packaging.
Make Each Pack Feel Different
Using peeled prawns in different meals can keep things interesting for the family. One pack might become dinner, while the next can be used for a lighter lunch. You could try it with;
- Fried rice with vegetables
- Lemon and herb pasta
- Rice paper rolls
- Fresh prawn rolls with salad
- Prawn and avocado salad
- Noodle bowls with vegetables
Changing the sides, dressing or base is an easy way to turn the same prawns into a completely different meal.
