Question: are ready to eat prawns cooked?
Answer: Prawns can be bought raw or cooked. They can be used in the same way and in the same kind of dishes, though cooked prawns can be eaten cold as they are. ... You can find pink and brown varieties of shrimp, and they are sold ready-cooked. Ready-peeled ones are the best to go for, as it's a fiddly job to do.
