Opens and allows us to consume the prawn concoction (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unwraps

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'opens and' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'us to consume the prawn concoction' is the wordplay.
'to consume' is an insertion indicator.
'concoction' indicates an anagram.
'prawn' is an anagram of 'nwrap'.
'us' enclosing 'nwrap' is 'UNWRAPS'.

'allows' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for unwraps that I've seen is " Removes the outer cover, of a parcel perhaps".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
