just cooked spot prawns for the first time since moving to vancouver and used your steaming method for half of them. I did the other half butterflied and pan-seared.
I loved this video so much! I’m planning to get some spot prawns now for our Father’s Day dinner, thanks for the great idea 😋 My favourite way of eating the spot prawns is definitely boiling them and dipping it in home made sauce!
Tried this for the first time and had sashimi and grilled. Sooooooo divine!!! I shall try the boiled and steamed method next time! Can’t get enough of it!!!
Thank you for sharing how to cook 🦐🦐! I LOVE boiling and eat with Soy sauce and wasabi! I also love cooking 🦐🦐 with garlic and lemon. I love baked heads of 🦐🦐 too! Super crunchy and yummy 😋
My mom makes the best spot prawn congee so that’s probably my fave way of eating them. But I also like them steamed and dip into garlic, ginger, soy sauce 😋
After cleaning and snipping, usually just boiled the bc spot prawns and served with a sweet and spicy soy sauce with minced garlic. I keep the water for seafood stock for soups like laska!
1. I love the traditional Vietnamese way in my family, Steamed prawns in beer with a spicy Vietnamese nuoc Cham. 2.Grilled spot prawns in butter, lemon and garlic. 3. Spot prawn ceviche or sashimi 🥰💯
My FAVE way to eat spot prawns is to boil them & dipping them in soy chili sauce. Yum! Also, thanks for the tip to save the prawn heads for the ultimate stock!
I just picked up 2lbs from F.I.S.H this afternoon. It’s my first time preparing them...😬 I feel like I can tackle the steam method. I can’t wait to eat all those sweet babies!!
Wowwwwwww !!! I never had spotted prawn before in my life but after i saw them on your Instagram and this video, I'm dying to try them! Thanks for the tips of how to eat them ! 😋 now im craving prawns 🦐 As a Thai, I would wanna try to eat them with Thai spicy seafood dipping sauce ! because the sauce will enhance the flavour of the prawn and it would goes together really well :) a must to try if you love spicy food 🌶🔥🔥
I think a few years ago I got to go fishing with my family where the guy was fishing for spot prawns and we ate them fresh out of the water it was delicious!
Oh man, getting major FOMO here in SF Emma. What a great video, loved this edit and pace. I would just do a simple Blanche with a hot butter garlic sauce. 🤤🤤
It is like Christmas with this giveaway hehehe! My fav is the steam style with Garlic! Also dumb wustuob, how did you get to stop jumping or did you kill it swiftly. I find that even when I was rinsing them, they kept jumping around!! PS great editing!
HAHAHA TRUEEE! oh my yes garlic breath all the wayyyy! haha that means you got a super fresh bunch! I would pour the jumping ones into the boil method to avoid having to deal with them hands on haha
Is there a replacement for the chilies in oil? I can’t seem to find it in any of the grocery stores..I’m on Vancouver Island…I can find chilies/peanuts..but not straight chilies
@@VancouverFoodie no not really amounting authentic…I’ve actually tried an Asian supermarket in Sidney. …maybe I’ll try one in Vic next time I’m there…just wondered if chili paste or something like that could be used instead..
Steamed them and dipped them in oil and soy sauce with some chili. NOM! I want my parents to be in town now so they can make me some haha. It's kinda weird eating spot prawns without my fam >
I think the best way to eat spot prawns is to steam them briefly till the shell turned colour. Then remove the shell and dip the prawns in my family's special homemade soy sauce blend with lemon juice, green onion slithers and garlic bits.
BC Spot prawns are FIRE!!! Love it when it comes in season

When I order spot prawns at sushi restaurants, they serve it with the head. It’s uncooked. Can I eat that?
The best place to buy live spot prawns and for a fair price is the Steveston docks in Richmond.
The best way is boiled! Just simple to allow those sweet flavours to speak for itself :) maybe a little dabble of soy sauce
My favourite is sashimi spot prawns👌
Cravings so real for all 3 methods, but my fav has to be boiled with soy sauce + sesame oil!
yum
My favourite way to eat them is to boil them in water for 2 minutes and peel, then dip them in soy sauce! 😍
Is there a replacement for the chilies in oil? I can’t seem to find it in any of the grocery stores..I’m on Vancouver Island…I can find chilies/peanuts..but not straight chilies
Do y'all have any asian restaurants on the island?

Sashimi still my fave!!!
Steamed is the best !!

Eaten raw - aren’t you worried about parasites since the prawns have not been frozen?
Steamed with coconut juice 🤤
Oooh I've never tried that before!!
1:40 did you kill it first?
I want to make the broth, but I always want to suck on the heads! So torn between what I want more hahha
Boiled. The best way
Yassss the sweet flavour is maximized there!
