Ingredients

  • a handful of salt into a pot of boiling water
  • a handful of curled parsley in the middle of a dish
  • one prawn on the top

Directions

1

Throw a handful of salt into a pot of boiling water. When it boils very hard, put in the prawns. Let them boil a quarter of an hour, and when you take them out lay them on a sieve to drain, and then wipe them on a dry cloth, and put them aside till quite cold.

2

Lay a handful of curled parsley in the middle of a dish. Put one prawn on the top of it, and lay the others all round, as close as you can, with the tails outside. Garnish with parsley.

3

Eat them with salt, cayenne, sweet oil, mustard and vinegar, mixed together as for lobsters.

4

Crabs are boiled in the same manner, and in serving up may be arranged like prawns.
