Shrimply Irresistible: Tuscan Campfire Prawns

These gorgeous whole prawns are living their best life on the ridged grill surface, their shells turning that perfect coral-orange that signals seafood nirvana approaching. Fresh from Cecina's markets, these beauties still sport their impressive whiskers and natural curves, getting the slow char treatment that transforms raw crustacean into camping gold. The cast iron ridges create those coveted grill marks while allowing proper heat circulation around each specimen. This represents the apex of our Italian coastal camping food chain - no prep beyond basic grilling technique, just letting premium ingredients do what they do best under controlled fire. Those long antennae curl dramatically as the heat works its transformation magic, while the substantial body segments promise sweet, tender meat inside those protective shells. The whole setup embodies that Mediterranean approach to seafood - minimal interference, maximum flavor extraction. My iPhone SE caught this crustacean perfection at f/1.8, proving that sometimes the simplest cooking methods yield the most satisfying results.
