I bought a pound of large prawns today.  Each one is about 8-inches in length from head to tail.  I am having some trouble in trying to figure out how to prepare and cook them.  I’m thinking about grilling, but how, and with what other ingredients?

I’ve been eating sukoyaka genmai, an organic Japanese short-grain brown rice, for almost two years. My stock is getting rather low and I went to the Korean supermarket to purchase a new bag. With the rising cost of rice and other commodities, I expected the price to be a little higher than the [...]
