Butterflying prawns is the process of cutting them in half lengthways and flattening them out. It's useful for grilling and barbecuing.

-Uncurl the prawn, belly-side facing upwards.
-Cut a line from underneath the head of the prawn to the tip of the tail using a sharp knife, making sure the knife cuts through the meat but not the outer shell of the prawn.
-Open up the prawn fully and grill on the butterflied side.
