COOK'S TIPS
Freeze fresh green prawns when inexpensive. Place in a freezer proof container, filling three quarters full.
Cover with water, seal; freeze for up to 3 months.
To shell prawns, remove legs first.
Peel shell off starting from the head.
Holding the peeled section, gently pull tail shell until it slides off.
