Roasted Prawns with Morels and Morel ButterSCOTT PETERSON

This recipe calls for giant 4 1/2- to 5-ounce prawns, which can be ordered from some specialty fish markets. If unavailable, substitute 24 large prawns.

Test-kitchen tip:

Morel mushrooms, with their honeycomb design, require thorough soaking in water. Submerge morels in large bowl of water and agitate gently to release dirt, then lift out, leaving grit behind. Pat morels dry and use immediately.
