[Middle English praine, prane.]
How to prawn :
1. Grab a hook and line on stick, more commonly known as a fishing pole
2. Measure the depth of the water and set the bobber at a length where the hook will just at the bottom of the pool.
3. Bait the hook (we used worms or chicken heart [which apparently also works for crabs])
4. Develop your own technique to entice the little buggers to take the bait- don't let them tease you, make em want it!!
5. Once they grab the hook, slowly tighten the line, then pluck them onto shore.
6. Remove their claws, or... just don't let em get ya!
7. Carefully remove the hook
8. Place them in a net (back in the water of course), till you've got enough to eat
9. Fire up the BBQ!!
10. Place them on a skewer or pinch them between two wire racks, remember they will try to walk off.
11. Roast them till they're red and their shells crisp
12. Feast. Recommended with garlic and butter.
