I have just spent what seems like an eternity peeling bloody prawns Surely there has got to be a simple way of doing such a tedious messy job Does anyone know of any kitchen tools that help do the job? Theres a potato peeler so why not a prawn peeler

My next worst job in the kitchen is peeling sprouts

So come on guys lets find out what you hate cooking or preparing in the kitchen

You're having prawns and sprouts tonight?

Its not sprout season But having prawns and going to enjoy every one of the little buggers

And forgot to add, I thought I would get a response like that from a bloke

I luuuuuuv prawns ...... I just can't believe how cheap they are over here in Mercadona

Fried in Allioli Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

My worst job in the kitchen is waiting for the food to be served

I got these from Mercadona.

We are having garlic prawns with Chilli new potatos tonight. My mouth is watering at the thought

Now go get you pinny on and help in the kitchen

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have not cooked a meal since the mid / late seventies. I am committed to cooking a Valencian paella due to a drunken comment. Have bought the pan, just not quite sure what to put in it yet. I have the equipment , just not sure how to use it.

I am sure theres a thread somewhere on cooking Paella. You will get lots of advice on there. So no excuses Mitzy and get cooking

Yes there is and its going to come in very useful

commercially they use a type of water jet to peel them, remove head and tail, and use the jet to blast the body out of the shell, washes them at the same time. I love all such as prawns, lobster etc, unfortunately OH is allergic to shellfish, but I do sometimes treat mysself to some from murky donna.

We had paella at the weekend, managed to con one of the guests into cooking it as I didn't want 40 odd people going down with food poisoning. It seems easy enough from 10 yards away

Love the name for Mercadona

Not mine though, one of our local writers with a colonm called The 'Ump, uses Murky Donna, Carry Poor and Messy Mess.

lazy git......

My thoughts exactly, but I didnt have the bottle to write it
