Prawn recipes for Christmas
Keep whole uncooked prawns in their shell and only peel up to a few hours ahead of cooking for ultimate freshness. It's helpful to remember that 1kg of medium prawns in the shell typically yields around 24 prawns, which equates to roughly 500g of prawn meat once peeled.

Christmas scallop recipes
Scallops are typically sold in a few different ways: on the half shell with the roe removed, or as thawed meat with the roe still attached. When selecting scallops, look for ones with firm, intact, and shiny flesh. Keep in mind that scallops cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them, as this will result in a tough and rubbery texture.
