BAKED PRAWNS with WHITE WINE
Can I use frozen prawns for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen prawns, preferably of good quality. Let them thaw slowly in the fridge and dry them well before baking.
Do I need to shell the prawns before cooking?
No, it’s not mandatory. Cooking them with the shell keeps them juicier and more flavorful, as well as making the dish more scenic.
What white wine is best to use for baked prawns?
Choose a dry and light white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, or Trebbiano. Avoid overly aromatic wines.
How long do baked prawns with white wine need to cook?
Prawns cook quickly: about 10–15 minutes in a hot oven. Be careful not to overcook them to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
Can I prepare them in advance for Christmas Eve?
It’s best to cook them at the moment, but you can clean and season them in advance, store them in the fridge, and bake shortly before serving.
