I ate many prawns In Sri Lanka - the tails are the worst part as they get stuck in your throat. But they make a nice curry otherwise,

I can’t remember how to eat prawns. Don’t you have to remove all the shell and only eat the middle bit?

The last time I ate prawns it was tempura prawns at a Japanese restaurant. The tails are left on while the rest of the shell is removed before dipping in tempura batter and deep frying. You’re not supposed to eat the tails. I always assumed the tails were left on so you could hold the prawn by the tail when dipping it in sauce and eating it.

But can I explain? - prawns in Sri Lanka are so much cheaper than the UK and USA! And they are fresh seafood.

Your supposed to rip off tail first and then peel the shell.
