When I had almost finished the grocery shopping, I suddenly felt like tempura prawns... So off I went to the fish shop and bought 12 prawns. And the funny thing is (well, not really), there's this man standing next to me, and he buys about two kilograms of banana prawns for around $26 and then two seconds later I say, "Can I have twelve paradise prawns?"...which is like $2.50. Actually, my favourite type of prawn are tiger prawns, or any prawn that has really dark green (almost black) stripes. I only bought paradise prawns today because they looked pretty fresh anyway and weren't as big. For me, I always find frozen prawns in a bag kind of icky since they have some sort of thing that makes them crunchy and a bit weird. Not fresh at all anyway. I also prefer to buy shelled prawns and to peel and devein myself because having that amount of control over cleaning my own prawns allows me to be as obsessive as necessary.
