Jumbo frozen prawns are perfect for summer barbecues or curries and are the best way to cook through an entire batch quickly. These shell-on prawns have shorter cooking times than tail-on shrimp varieties.

Though similar in appearance, it’s essential to distinguish between lobster, shrimp and prawns. Prawns tend to be larger than shrimp and their sweet taste sets them apart with lamellar gills.

Size

Our jumbo frozen prawns come from higher welfare shrimp farms in Thailand and Vietnam, where all necessary peeling or deveining processes have already taken place on-site. They come with their shell still attached for easy preparation without needing peeling or deveining before freezing, making them perfect for use with Tandooris as well as most curries. Having their head still attached means these shrimps make perfect home chefs with little time on their hands or BBQ chefs as they are very forgiving in either pan or grill environments!

To air-fry: Remove all packaging, arrange prawns in an air fry basket in a single layer, and cook for 7-8 minutes (full bag). Prior to air frying: Place on the baking sheet in the centre of the oven for 22-25 minutes while flipping halfway. After cooking: Drain any extra liquid and enjoy.

Cooking

Most fresh prawns you find at markets have been frozen at some point – often as soon as they’re harvested from the sea – because frozen shrimp is more durable, meaning it can withstand longer transportation and, therefore, have a longer shelf life.

Jumbo frozen prawns can be prepared in various ways, just as with freshly caught ones. It is key not to overcook them; shellfish, like prawns, cook quickly, so it is easy to overdo it accidentally.

To avoid this scenario, the ideal method of defrosting frozen prawns is in the refrigerator. Once defrosted, they can also be frozen again, but make sure that an airtight container or Ziplock bag is used so as not to let any ice melt and cause leakage into their contents.

Once your jumbo frozen prawns have thawed out, drain and dry them thoroughly with paper towels before proceeding with any preparation process. Sautee them in butter before sautéing or marinading with sweet chilli paste (kecap manis) for optimal charring without overcooking; alternatively, you could bake them in the oven for 6-8 minutes to ensure full pink-coloured preparations.

When shopping for shrimp, you’ll notice a number at the end of the package. It’s a seemingly meaningless wildcard in the seafood world, but it actually tells you a lot about what’s inside. The number translates to the size of the shrimp in terms of how many are packed into a pound. It’s an easy way to gauge the quality of the shrimp and choose the best size for your meal.

When the number is higher, the shrimp are larger. It is important because the smaller the shrimp, the more they’ll clump together and stick to each other, making them difficult to cook. On the other hand, large shrimp are much more forgiving when it comes to cooking and will be easier to separate with a knife or fork. Choosing the right shrimp size depends on the dish you’re cooking and your taste preferences.

As children go through this crucial growth period, they require shoes that allow their feet to bend, grip and move naturally – the proper pair can help avoid foot injuries.

Kids’ feet grow half a size every two to four months. To avoid their toes getting pinched by too-tight shoes, purchase ones a half size larger than your child currently wears.

Sole

The sole of Spendless kids shoes NZ provides traction, cushioning and flexibility, helping the foot move naturally to promote healthy development of feet.

Hard-soled shoes unnaturally restrict foot movement, placing an unnecessary strain on other parts of your body, such as ankles, knees and feet. Children’s soft-soled shoes are specifically designed to assist your child in learning to walk correctly.

Checking Kids Shoe Size

To measure your children’s feet accurately and ensure the appropriate shoe size, use our printable shoe chart or have them stand in their shoes with their heels at the back and feel for any pressure points, such as the big toe touching the end of the shoe. Aim to have half thumb width of space above the toe, ensuring no pinching or catching happens while feeling the width of the shoe to make sure it suits their toes comfortably.

Fit

Children’s feet swell throughout the day as they move around, so shoes must fit correctly. Aim for leaving at least a thumb-width gap between your child’s big toe and the front of their shoe; too small could lead to squashed toes leading to painful rubbing, blisters or foot problems, while too large will cause forces from movement through feet and leg to increase exponentially.

To check for a proper fit, have your child stand up in their shoes and press down on the toe area, pressing down against their toe area until there is a gap (thumb width), so they can twist their foot without hitting against the front of their shoe – this provides more comfort while decreasing forces that travel up through their leg and spine. Ensure their fastening mechanism also offers adequate fastening systems – laces or Velcro work great as alternatives!

Style

Parents must ensure their Spendless kids shoes NZ are in tip-top condition for maximum hygiene and maintenance. Closures that grip well should fit securely while remaining low enough so kids can experience sensory feedback from touching the ground with their feet, providing natural movement patterns and sensory feedback.

When trying on shoes with children, ensure they stand up and give each pair of shoes a thorough shake to ensure they fit comfortably and allow enough room for future growth. Bear in mind that their feet may swell throughout the day; therefore, it is wiser to measure their shoes in the afternoon rather than in the morning.

Select machine-washable options with gentle cycles and cool water for easy shoe care. When finished washing them, ensure they are correctly stored to preserve their shape and prevent any moisture or sun damage from moisture or sunlight exposure.

Materials

Natural materials are preferable when selecting shoes for children. Natural materials allow their feet to breathe and adapt naturally as they age; leather is soft yet durable enough to form your foot over time. Look for shoes with laces, Velcro fastenings or buckles so they can be fastened securely as your child grows.

Spendless kids shoes NZ are constructed using vegetable-tanned leather and organic cotton from sustainable sources and ethically sourced merino wool, where sheep are raised under humane conditions. Their products are assembled at WRAP-certified or other ethically-vetted factories, so workers are treated fairly.

It’s best to have your child’s feet measured in a shoe shop by someone who has been trained in how to measure a foot and fit shoes properly. It will ensure that your child gets a pair of shoes that are the right size, width and type for their feet. Remember that children’s feet grow very quickly, so even if their shoes are the right size, they may not fit comfortably once they’ve worn them for a while.
