Instructions:
Step 1: Select fresh prawns that are still alive and active. You can have the seller remove the shells or do it yourself at home.
Step 2: Thoroughly clean the prawns. Boil water, add the prawns and parboil them. Stir until the shells change color, then remove and drain them. It’s important to use high heat and work quickly, as overcooking the shrimp will make the meat bland and less flavorful.
Step 3: Allow the prawns to cool, peel off the shells, and divide them into portions based on the intended dishes. Place them in a container and store them in the freezer.
