About this item

These prawns are frozen whole, head, shell and tail still on, because that is where most of the sweetness sits. Leaving the shell on keeps the flesh from drying out and gives you the head and shell to make a quick stock once they are peeled. They come in vacuum packs, frozen shortly after they were caught, with nothing added to plump them up or hold water. Boiled for two minutes, they turn bright and firm with a clean, saline finish; grilled or pan-seared, the shells char and the flavour deepens. Cook them briefly, because a prawn left too long goes rubbery. Peel and eat them plain with salt, or use the shells for stock.
