Prawn Noob
A year ago, I decided to be bold and try shrimps at our table grill Christmas dinner. I finally learned to like them and we didn't really let them sit in a marinade for long at the time. But at least I learned how to eat something new, or at least something that I did not want to eat all my life, haha.
I thought all these little shrimpy things were actual shrimps but this Christmas I learned that this time we had prawns instead. I looked up the difference and this is what I found on Reddit:
Apparently, I wasn't the only Prawn noob out there, lol.
This Christmas, we had prawns
We both agreed that we should marinate them a few hours before dinner started and my boyfriend did a great job at it by adding a simple marinade of olive oil with garlic and fresh parsley. We first ate the steak and chicken before trying the prawns but once we did, we were sold, I could have eaten prawns only from that moment. If only we had more of them, lol.
Sadly we didn't because we were gifted this box of prawns recently by the Carrefour supermarket during their weekly gift for customers shopping in the supermarket over online shopping. I figured we might as well save them for Christmas as it's so nice having these on the table grill. Now that I enjoyed them so much, I'm definitely going to check for more dishes with these to see if I can find some more occasions to eat them.
Trying new things
I've been a seriously picky eater all my life, but not as bad as my youngest, she's 10x worse! Over the years, I learned to try new things by trusting my boyfriend when he says if you eat it like this, you will like it, I'm sure. He was usually right. I just needed someone to understand why I didn't like certain things and adding a bit more flavour in a certain way (or less flavour lol, depending on what it is) to make me try it again.
I wish our daughter would be a bit more open to new things as well, but we're making some steps lately. Just not with prawns, because they are disgusting according to her. I will let her have this one though, as I can understand, haha.
Do you like prawns or shrimps? Let me know in a comment below :)
