Piri Piri Medium Prawns, your questions
Do I need to clean or devein these prawns?
No, the prawns come fully peeled and deveined. Thaw, season with the included masala, and cook.
What is included in the pack?
212g of medium prawns plus two piri piri masala sachets, so seasoning is covered too.
How do I thaw the prawns safely?
Thaw in the refrigerator or in a sealed bag under cold running water. Never thaw at room temperature, and never refreeze thawed prawns.
How do I know when prawns are cooked?
Prawns are done when they turn pink-orange, opaque and curl into a loose 'C' shape, usually 3-4 minutes on a hot pan. A tight 'O' shape means overcooked.
How long can I keep a frozen snack pack after opening?
Take out only the pieces you need, reseal the pack tightly and return it to the freezer (-18°C) immediately. Used this way, the product stays good until the best-before date printed on the pack. What shortens its life is time spent outside the freezer, never let the pack sit out and soften between servings.
My pack softened a little during delivery, is it still safe?
Quick-commerce deliveries travel in insulated bags, so brief softening on a hot day is normal. If the pieces are still firm or icy, put the pack straight into the freezer, it's fine. If the contents are fully thawed and soft, cook them the same day and do not refreeze.
I don't have an air fryer, how else can I cook these?
Every ITC Master Chef snack can be shallow-fried on a pan or tawa, or deep-fried in a kadhai. Many also work in a standard OTG/oven at 200°C. Exact times for each method are on the pack and on every product page.
How do I know which products are vegetarian?
Check the FSSAI marking on the pack, a green dot means vegetarian, a brown/maroon dot means non-vegetarian. On this site, every product page also lists it, and the Veg and Potato ranges are fully vegetarian.
