A 1kg box of large whole prawns at the 16–20 grade — 16 to 20 generous prawns per pack, head-on and shell-on, farmed in south-east Asia and fast-frozen at source. The large size makes them visually striking on a platter and substantial enough as a main-event protein on the BBQ or in a paella.
Pack details
- Net weight: 1kg
- Count: 16–20 prawns per box (large grade)
- Form: whole, head-on, shell-on
- Catch: farmed, south-east Asia
- Storage: keep at −18°C; defrost overnight in the fridge before cooking
How to cook
- BBQ / griddle: 2–3 minutes per side over high heat — cook shell-on for the best flavour.
- Pan-fry: butter, garlic and chilli over medium-high for 3–4 minutes total.
- Oven: 220°C for 7–9 minutes.
- Paella / arroz: add to the rice in the last 6–8 minutes; the heads enrich the rice as they cook.
Save the heads — they make an excellent prawn stock or bisque base. Pair with a chilled Albariño or a crisp Spanish rosé.
