Prawning catch and cook with Shauno

Well it was time for another big prawning session! I take Shauno for his very first SEQ Prawning trip. We manage to get stuck into some great sized prawns to cap it off.

[@iraqi9974]

Sammy you inspired me to get a cast net of my own, went out near the salt works and got 2.8kg first time,, thank you sm

[@wihan7306]

As usual great video Sammy. Can’t wait to try this way of cooking prawn, Looks absolutely smashing!

[@shaynebates912]

Just a tip, to chill water fast add salt to it. To boil water fast don't add the salt at the start, wait for the rolling boil then add it, you'll find it will come to the boil faster.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

nice little tip mate! Will be trying that next time!

[@Puto73]

My oath!

[@fifigirl8208]

we cook and eat prawns all the time but never been able to get that salt to water ratio correct. did everything you said right down to brown sugar. PERFECTION!! whole family agreed its a winner. when we all get together and boys start watching fishing vids I ask for yours. always enjoy. cheers

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Glad it worked for you mate 🍻🍻

Mate watching you catch those prawns cooking them and eating them you was making my mouth water cheers great video

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

hahah they tasted even better than they looked as well! Probably explains why there is none left now!

[@murrayprosser5082]

Great vid Sammy and some great tips on cooking the prawns, maaate gunna have to head to the Caboolture river if i get a chance as they looked so good. Bloody Shauno gotta tape a bucket and sponge to him next time so he helps washing the boat lol. Really informative video by the pancake kid and maybe Shauno can be the cup cake caster cheers Muzz

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

hahahah not a bad idea, just lather up shauno and roll him around the boat a bit so he can chip in! Cheers mate, Glad you got a bit outta it!

Welldone bud. I miss my tinny now. Best time of year for prawns and mudcrabs at the mo. I cook em the same as you but add a couple onions to the hot water.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

TheBoguspokus oh nice, haven’t heard that onions trick before, is that for flavor or??

[@TheBoguspokus]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing Yeah I like the flavour. And reckon white onions are better. I cut em into quarters and throw em in. He he I cook my mudcrabs in beer and onions, VB is a good cooking beer, maybe not for drinking though.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

hahah only 1 and a half mate! My glass CC and my old man and I went halves in the tinny

[@Freya_Gameplay]

There's too much water when you boil it, it will be a lot tastier when you boil it with a small amount of water. Or I usually cook it without adding water so it will boil in its own juice so there is no chance of the flavour getting washed out by the water. Nice video.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I disagree actually mate, I find as long as you adjust the salt content to suit the amount of water the flavour remains A+. In saying that, if your method is working for you keep at it!
