The humble prawn is a well-loved crustacean. English prawns are caught using pots in estuaries and shallow bays across the EU, such as the small-scale prawn fishery in Cornwall. These taste great and are sustainable. Additionally, there are plenty of cold-water prawns on the market, which are wild caught in the cold and icy waters of the North Atlantic Prawns are firm and meaty in texture, with a distinctive, sweetish flavour. They taste wonderful in creamy, garlic pasta dishes and stir fries. Before cooking, many people prefer to remove the intestinal tract running down the back of the prawn, known as â??de-veiningâ??, but if youâ??re serving the prawns in their shells this isnâ??t possible. Do not toss the shells away and waste a good ingredient, as they make a flavorsome stock, perfect for a base flavour for soups or risottos.
