Hey Pam, I think I have said on another thread that peeling prawns was the worst job for me, it's not so much the peeling it is taking the poo lounge out that is the time consuming bit. I have to de poo them as there is nothing worse than just going to pop the prawn in the hole in the face and being meet with that disgusting black mess. Some of the large prawns have massive poo lounges.

Have a glass or two of wine first, if it bothers you that much. Then you won't care at all.

cook them with the shells on, put lots of paper napkins & finger bowls on the table & let them do it themselves
