Nice idea but I'm off prawns unless I catch them myself. Saw one of the many sustainable fish programs that were on TV last week. It described how we export 70-80% of shellfish caught in Britain, yet import 70-80% of all shellfish eaten in Britain:duh. Prawns here are largely imported from Asia. The example shown was of prawns raised in unclean sewage/disease ridden waters around Asia (Pakistan/Malaya? Llanelli?) and then injected with a syringe full of water (hopefully clean?) to plump them up to almost double their size.

They were encouraging us to eat more local species of shell-fish (Langostines/Dublin Bay prawns, crab, lobster, mussels) and less common fish local fish (pouting/pollock/coley rather than cod or haddock; also Dab, Gurnard, mackerel, herring, pilchards/sardines). Coley is half the price of cod and Jamie Oliver reckoned Pouting looks and tastes exactly the same as cod (I'm not that keen on cod - prefer haddock/plaice/bass/mullet/mackerel/sardines myself).
