So I bought these prawns, now what??

[tcsenter]

The market had a great deal on these prawns so I got whole package of them. Question is...how do I cook them?

The redneck in me says to bread them and deep fry those suckers like jumbo shrimp night at Long John Silvers, but that would probably not be the most prudent use of these critters. I was thinking more along the lines of something with garlic, herbs, butter and maybe some pasta.

Anyone have any recipes for prawns?

1) Grill those bad boys

Marinade them in barbecue sauce, wrap them in bacon, stick them on skewers and grill them.
Grill some pineapple, too.
MMMMMmmmMmMmMmmmmm

Bacon wrapped prawns are damn good. You could also just sautee them in some butter and garlic then put them over pasta kind of like shrimp scampi.

Easiest way:

1. Put a lot of butter in a frying pan and melt it.
2. Add garlic, and just start to cook.
3. Add prawns.
4. Add 1/4 cup white wine.
5. Cook until prawns are all that orange colour.
6. Eat.


It goes really well with some fried vegetables and lemon rice.

Yeah, but I prefer my shellfish to not come from highly contaminated waters full of hepatitis and other goodies. heh

How big are they?

The bag says there are approximately 16 PRONS per pound. Bought a 2-lb package for $10.

If they were alive I'd say to put them in your pants, and then do the boogy dance.
