boiled prawns

I sometimes think I’m taking this simplicity thing a little too far. But regardless of that here is my latest minimalist listing, barely sufficient to be called a recipe.

No need for messing about - let’s keep it simple. [And this is the way that the fishmonger I buy them from cooks them.]

a prawn boilingYou need raw frozen prawns for this. Serve them piping hot with lemon juice and home made mayonnaise (perhaps with a little garlic) - great!

boiled prawns

  • 6 or so per person raw shell-on prawns
  • a pan full of salted boiling water

Bring the water to the boil.

Place the prawns in the water to cook. Unfrozen will take two minutes at most, frozen will take longer (5-8 minutes).

Eat.
