Shell on prawns

[sheothebudworths]

I get squeamish with prawns

I have to admit that for all my confidence in the prawn shelling department ( ) I've never got on with their eyes - little dried up raisiny things <shudder> - but I just do my best not to make eye contact or touch them...

Are the shells edible then? I always quick fry my peeled uncooked king size tigers from Waitrose in garlic oil then serve with a crusty big loaf and garlic mayo . Bugger me they are expensive though . Now and then I stock up with massive cheap bags from Wing Yip.

I can peel prawns better than anyone I've ever met.

She says You obviously ain't seen me turbo peel! Maybe a prawn peeling compo is on the cards?

I can even peel them so that all the juicy stuff from the head remains in tact (apart from the bright red thing which you can't eat....the stomach? .....)

Oh dear

Mmmmm, sucking that juicy egg sack off first is mint
