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.
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!
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!!!
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!
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!
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 😋
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!
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 🥰💯
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!!
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 😋
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
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 🌶🔥🔥
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..
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. 🤤🤤
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.
Lightly pan-fried with butter, garlic, and cilantro. Also, deep fried heads are a must!
oh my yesss i gotta do the pan-frying one with butter and garlic next time!

Definitely sashimi and the steamed prawns with green onion and ginger are the fav! Great video !
My favourite way of having spot prawns is having it as sashimi with soy sauce and wasabi. So sweet! During the season it’s as fresh as it can get!

Once you've tried them; you'd be asking yourself why you didn't try them sooner!!
Love it!! So informative and I love how you show every detail in how to approach it best :D
Thank you! Always want to bring accessibility to the table :)
Love all the options!!! My favourite is definitely the classic boil! 😋

Thanks for sharing the recipes! What is the brand of pickled chilis you use? Where can I find it?
Awww you're so very welcome! I used the Lao Gan Ma brand! Most likely at any large Chinese supermarket!
@@VancouverFoodie Thank you!! I'll try it at home :-)
I love my spot prawns steamed and then dipped in soy sauce with garlic and green onions UGHH 😍
Doesn't the vein go all the way down the prawn? Or does it actually pull out that quick?

Boiled and dipped in the Chili soy sauce!
This is really well done! Love it. Brava you.
Oh! And have you tried frying the heads?
When I order spot prawns at sushi restaurants, they serve it with the head. It’s uncooked. Can I eat that?
1:40 did you kill it first?
Love a simple grill and enjoy the butteryness 😍🦐
The best place to buy live spot prawns and for a fair price is the Steveston docks in Richmond.
Good job 👍
Put them on the grill or poach for ~1 min! We’ve also tried them raw like sashimi!
The best way is boiled! Just simple to allow those sweet flavours to speak for itself :) maybe a little dabble of soy 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!

Spot prawns boiled in some good ol’ Vancouver water = LIT
I like them steamed whole*; served with a soy concoction dip. *sucking the heads are optional but why would you not???
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?
@@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..
