Yes in the shells - why wouldn’t it work?

So easy - doing them tonight but peeled and threaded on skewers before cooking. I’m using fresh chilli but you can used dried chilli flakes if you don’t have fresh

I like the look of this variation as well. I have some peeled prawns in the deep freeze which will work well with this variation.

If you're going to shell prawns yourself I'll let you into a secret a mate told me on how to do them quickly. Break the body off, peel the 1st 2 scales off and then pinch at the tail and the meat just pops out, as long as they are not old. before they gave me gout, I ate them all the time and could do around 4 to everyone elses 1.I miss them, seeing as my local pak'n has the big Argentinian ones quite reasonable.

Use kitchen scissors, first take frozen prawns put in water bath of salt. Rip off head. Cut off tail. Scisdor up the back, at the same time deveining it, pull whole shell off, next and so on.

I bought Australian king prawns in their shells to cook Christmas Day but Ive never cooked them before and don't know how best to down them I've googled it but there's so many answers. I like the idea of barbecuing them and having a garlic butter flavour. Do I take out of shells and devain them first. ?

Directions
Peel prawns, leaving tails intact; devein. Finely chop parsley. Place in a bowl and combine with oil, sauce, juice, honey, garlic and chives. Add prawns, stir until combined. Cover, refrigerate at 1 hour. Cook prawns on a preheated barbecue grill for 3 minutes or until just cooked through, turning once.
I cut and pasted this from Google. Hope it helps you - haven't done them myself. Merry Christmas to you

Throw them on the BBQ whole and serve when while still warm. Let people peel their own. If your going to peel them and devein them, then you may as well buy prawn meat and save the hassle.

I marinate mine in fresh ginger, chilli and olive oil then cook whole on the BBQ until they turn bright pink - we have a side burner so can cook them on there in a cast iron pan if there’s other stuff on the hot plate
