How tedious is peeling prawns? The temptation of peel, eat, peel, eat is great but I didn't sample any and kept all the bits for a nice stock. Well done me.

That is an amazing level of self control. I love prawns.

Yes it is. Sometimes I eat well during prep and the fam get the leftovers. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

YAYYY!!! This is a very impressive level of self control. Its FATAL to taste just one peeled prawn - the remainder goes down the hatch so so very easily.

I know right! The test for me was going passed all the lebanese sweet shops and not stopping. I have the control.
