I really appreciate your advice about cooking them for just 30 seconds. I think that is the biggest problem that people run into with prawns, is over-cooking them and letting them become chewy. The meat can be so succulent and tender when they're not overcooked. Great photos, fresh prawns are the absolute best!

And oh, I can't stand it when crustaceans flail about as I'm holding them. I'm not the shrieking type but I involuntarily do so everytime I hold a MOVING crustacean! Lobsters are the worst offender!

You remind me that I have to go line up at the dock if I want some. People line up 1-2 hrs before 4 pm every day in Comox. I like mine plain like you did. Yum! Love that first picture.

You certainly didn't eat enough when you were in the Bay area, so hopefully Joe has converted you. Delicious and healthy-- what's not to love? Steamed is pretty good, but I do have a weak spot for grilled then buttered and garlicked. Nom nom nom. (This is taking a WHILE to get on my reader. Feedburner must be delayed again, grr) Yay for seafood! You certainly didn’t eat enough when you were in the Bay area, so hopefully Joe has converted you. Delicious and healthy– what’s not to love?
