Whole Raw King Prawns

About this item

Taken whole, heads and shells left on, and frozen with the tail curled. That curl keeps the flesh pressed against the shell, so it stays tight through a hot pan instead of going soft. Size sits comfortably in the palm, which makes them easy to grill, shallow-fry or poach. Because they are raw, they take on whatever you cook them with: garlic and chilli, a squeeze of lime, or nothing but salt. Peel after cooking, not before.
