Um i’m in the mood for prawns now. The curried ones we had at Xennys birthday party were ok but not wow by any means.

I’ll never forget my first experience with prawns… it was at a wedding reception, I was 10 years old, and firmly under the impression that one was supposed to consume the entire prawn… crunchy, to say the least.

Miles,

I’ve just got back from China Town in London….. lots of noodles and carbs but delicious. Came home with lots of ideas, too many to write about here but there might be a photo coming your way.

Spent the last couple of days eating fabulous dishes…. home again and back on the healthy eating plan

Greedydave,
Tiger prawns have a thin, dark line running through their centre which is their digestive tract.
It’s worth removing because it can harbour sand and grit etc depending n what and how you buy them. Aesthetically it is more pleasing on the eye too, as for the smaller prawn of which you refer I don’t bother. Frankly time can be better spent on other things!

Melissa,
A nice noodle broth is my favourite Asian fast food-full of goodness too.
Burgers are the anti Christ for me.

Miles,

No one needs a Big Mac! EVER. Don’t even utter those words. Ugh…

:-)

I do versions of this all the time, but never think to add prawns. Wonder why? Good suggestion. I take whatever I have on hand (in fact, I have a post half-written about that) and stir fry it in a tiny touch of broth, make some rice and I’ve got a “rice bowl” that’s healthy and easy. You’re so right, Rod, people don’t realize that eating take-away fast-food takes longer than making something at home. When I work with clients (as a nutritionist), that is one of the main problems — people are intimidated by food and have no idea what to do with it. They think cooking is too hard and too time consuming. This meal of yours shows otherwise.

Nice post, as always.

Miles,
2 minutes in the pan, 60 seconds on the plate. Looks delicious! I work 12 hour days (I know, such a part-timer) and fried rice is a fantastic supper dish.

What’s the deal with deveining prawns? Why do we do it sometimes and not others, for example when we cook prawns in their shells?
