Normally when i cook headless shell on prawns , i remove the shell and gut the veins along the back.
With head on prawns , are you supposed to cook them whole , with the shell on ? Obviously you make the choice of purchasing them whole and it seems a waste to dicard the heads.
My asian friends say they prefer them whole and enjoy sucking the gunk from their heads , but i find the thought of that a little scary.
When gutting some prawns they range from a thin black strip to a thick line of green looking snot , so the thought of eating that is a little scary too.Is this perfectly safe ?
How do you cook and eat your head on prawns ?
