Well, you’ll never find…or at least, I never will, prawns this huge! I was not joking, or lying, when I was bragging to everybody that they were the size of my arm. Here, you can see for yourself and as they say, seeing is believing…
You would have read in one of my earlier posts that Kpenyu was in town for his high school reunion and he brought me so many of these giant prawns from Kota Kinabalu…and when his former classmate, Bukitassek, arrived the following day, also from Kota Kinabalu, he brought me some more. My brother-in-law who was their classmate as well, came for Ching Ming and the reunion and he too brought me fish and prawns, but from Bintulu. Gosh! Now, I’ve a freezer full of prawns and fish and it certainly looks like I will have to go on a seafood diet for the next two or three months. LOL!!!
I do not know how much those giant prawns from Kpenyu cost; I never asked! After all, as the English proverb goes, “Never look at a gift horse in its mouth!” And haven’t we heard ever so often that the best things in life are free? LOL!! But coming from Kota Kinabalu, I bet they cost a bomb!!! Thanks, guys… It’s really so very nice, most generous and thoughtful of all of you!
Anyway, yesterday, I decided to take two of them out to cook. I mixed chopped garlic and Chinese celery with some evaporated milk plus butter and cheese (and salt and pepper according to taste) and poured that over the prawns and I added some curry leaves as well…
…and I put that in the oven to bake. This was the end result…
How was the taste? Well, need you ask? LOL!!! I’ll leave that to you to imagine and drool…drool…drool…
…ROTFLMAO!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
