The yellow orange blob of butter-looking thing in the head is what eating these prawns are all about! Almost like shrimp butter, creamy and rich with a taste and flavour that is out of this world. The lucky ones who have had a chance to eat these prawns have said that putting a spoonful of this shrimp butter into the mouth was life changing!
