- Bring 2 1⁄2 litres of water
to the boil, add 2 tablespoons of sea salt.
- Add prawns to boiling water.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes. Prawns
are done when they float to the top of the water. To test,
take out a prawn and hold it to the light, it is cooked when
the flesh has shrunk from the shell slightly and the prawn
looks translucent.
- When they’re done, remove
them from the boiling water and place in a big bowl of iced
water to cool them.
- Peel and eat! Great on their
own or serve with vinegar, lemon or just bread and butter.
Also great for use in salads,
fried rice and many other dishes.
