Don't you love the delicious looking little entree featured on the box my new baking dish came in? Large prawns, I believe. Somehow they didn't strike me the right way.
Oh, come on. I mean, there's that sauce for dipping. How bad can it be? I'm sure you won't even notice all the legs and the exoskeletons if you just use the dipping sauce.
The first time I had these my friend made them and boiled them. They made me want to barf, honestly, but I did not tell her that. She was so excited to find them and share them with me. But the second time I had these they were made "correctly" and they were actually yummy. A little difficult to eat, not like shrimp. You have to suck the insides out. The pleasure of eating Chinese style is all manners are out the window. I can't help enjoying the freedom of slurping, spitting, and sucking!:)I think I have too much western rebellion in me. Lisa
For a minute I thought they were lobster tails and I was excited for you! But prawns are pretty good, aren't they? Doesn't it make you want to try them?!
We adopted our youngest child, Gwen, from the Sichuan province in China in 2005, making our family SIX. In 2007, we were given the opportunity to move to Shanghai, where we lived for just a few weeks shy of five years. Now we are back in the Chicago area and readjusting to life in the US!
