I gotz da hook up from ocean run seafood I pay 8 dollars a pound! Lols they distribute to tnt. The best way to eat imo is to just boil em for 6-7 minutes and have a variety of sauces to dip. Last week me n my family devoured 10 pounds of prawn ahhaha it was awesome. I think im good wit eatin these prawns untill next year.

I usually go this route with a dipping sauce on the side...

Dang I think if you left 'em boiling for 6-7 minutes it will be way overcooked, by then you won't even be able to tell if they were fresh or frozen anymore!

Juices running in the head???? Dude do not cook these with the heads on, it's ruins the texture of the meat in the tail big time!!'
Try this... Take a few prawns and take the heads off, also keep a few whole and boil both for a couple mins. Once done try both and see what's best, hands down the heads off will be meaty and juicy... The heads on will still be meaty but will be a bit smaller and mushy on the outside.

This is an interesting way to cook them, when you put them in a single layer, is the prawn headless or intact on its side?

Hmm never tried with head off cause the shit inside the head is just too good. I guess everyone does it differently! Lolill take down some notes!

Head juices are great. I don't understand why anyone would waste them.

Headless, tail only on it's side. Save the heads for another dish.
Cooking with heads on is the norm for most people but it negatively affects the texture of the meat in the tail.

T&T live spot prawns are cheaper than fishermans warf ($10 vs $12) but they are NOT local BC prawns. I picked some up today and asked, they are from the US, most likely Blaine/Bellingham area.
