Kara’s fastest way to peel a cooked prawn

Grabs the prawn by both ends, bend it back to till you hear it crack. Pull at the base of the head snap it off. Pinch the tail off – it’ll pop! Run your thumb through the legs down the body, and pinch of the legs and curl the shell to remove it. And the last thing is to devein it and wash.
