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.
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.
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
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
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 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.
Rod Ashford mate it really does vary from trip to trip. I’ve always liked the run out, but this year it seemed to be either the top or the bottom of the tide that fired
ordered 500g of the tiger prawns cooked and 500g of the green uncooked this year for chissy best fish shop ive been to first time cooking green prawns will do a garlic butter with some chives or something good fun
a year later..rona virus is here. only thingkeeping me sane is throwing the net from the pontoons in the albert, acroos the road..few bananas around still
Hey Sammy good haul mate. Is there a reason you don’t cook them in the salt water they’re caught in? Is it better than cooking them in sea water?? Just wondering mate? Lovin’ ur work
You should try the Louisiana brand of crab and seafood boil mix. It will give your shrimp or crab a bit of a kick in flavor. Let me know if you have tried it if not I can send you some.
cheers mate! appreciate the support. Oh that sucks, best bet would be to jump on the seq prawning an crabbing pages on facebook. everyone always shares where the prawns are running on there.
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.
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!
geksii haha yeah mate, he’s great fun to have in the boat! Ahhhh yes, I’m glad you noticed because a lot of time and money went into getting that audio right! I use a rode video mic on the back camera and a lapel mic on the front camera. Gives me good quality audio from both 👌👌
Sammy Hitzke Fishing appreciate the reply! It sounds good on all my platforms mate, tv, headphones, computer speakers! Don’t change a thing :) good work!
Dammmmmmn been hitting the Logan waiting for them sukkahs to come down.. would you happen to know how long prawns stay in a particular area before moving? Or are they constantly on the move??
yeah they move around a lot mate. they can be there one day and gone the next. but on the smaller tides they do usually hang around the area for a couple of days.
ben learmonth hey Mate, not too sure actually, the old boy put it on to water dripping all over the screen while he’s casting. I’ll hit him up and find out what it is 👍
Hey mate, have you had any dramas with your motorguide? I got a 60" 24v xi5 in December last year and ive had gps issues, remote issues and now a cracked motor magnet.
@@keith2j The salt is all that is needed. These prawns have a lot more natural flavor than crawfish. Though you can do a "Crawfish Boil" style cook with prawns (Shrimp). Oldbay season goes good.
An’t you supposed to devein them? Incase they have a Parasites in them. It’s about common sense using it.for my health and safety of the food preparation of them .
