Peeling Prawns
Step 7
To peel a prawn, start by holding it firmly and twisting off the head. Next, grab the legs and gently pull away the shell, working your way down the body until it’s fully exposed. If desired, pinch and remove the tail, though you can leave it on for presentation. To devein the prawn, make a small slit along its back with a knife and use the tip of the knife or a skewer to lift and remove the dark vein. Once peeled and deveined, your prawns are ready to cook.
