Did I blog about this yet? - Malaysian prawns from Maui streams

This has absolutely nothing to do with Maui real estate, or buying a home in Maui Hawaii.

Sometimes I put pictures into the BLOG FILE - you probably have one too - to be used in a post in the near future. Yeah right.

So here's one I dredged up and dusted off - and NO it's not a recipe.

But I'll tell you what it is....

Malayasian prawns harvested from the fresh water streams of Kailua Maui and cooked up in some butter and garlic, salt and pepper. With some locally grown veggies.

The prawns were introduced to the streams decades ago, and they have done well. It's fun to catch the quick and wily Hawaiian crustaceans with a 3-pronged spear, in the shallow pools atop the ocean-side cliffs. This summer during the drought, the pools were way low and it was pretty easy filling up the catch bag with supper fixins, while slipping around in the spring fed water.

Anyway, the prawns were really good to eat.

Since then the rains have refilled the mountain pools somewhat and it's about time for the new batch of hatchlings to emerge from the ocean... yes they hatch in the ocean and migrate to the fresh water.

Prawns on Maui - That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
