Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Large Carabinero Prawns, also known as Scarlet Shrimp or Cardinal Prawns, are a highly sought-after deep-sea prawn species from the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. Renowned for their jumbo size and striking bright red color, these prawns are appreciated for their robust, distinct flavor. The meat is mainly concentrated in the tail, but the cephalothoraxes (head and body) are not to be overlooked and are excellent for making clear and creamed soups. Carabineros, which translates to 'police' in Spanish, are named for the color of their shells, which resembles the uniforms of Spanish customs police. The red color does not change when cooked, making them a popular choice in professional kitchens worldwide.

These Large Carabinero prawns are just incredibly tasty and luxurious, no other sea prawns even come close to it in term of the deep rich complex savoury flavours with the most amazing texture, just wait for the prawn head fat caramelisation smell hit the hot iron pan, infused with garlic, butter, and deglazed with a dash of white wine, finished off with freshly ground pepper and chopped parsley, it is just heaven on earth in every sense of the word, seafood these good must be treated with uttermost respect and enjoy every bit of it, lick it clean off the plate, it is an order, I mean it.

Expensive but worth it. Half the price that you would find it elsewhere. I have done the research. Plus the customer service is top notch. There was an issue with my order and I am so grateful that Basco was pro-active, friendly, and generous in sorting it out.

Delicious, would be even better if 6 massive ones rather than 10 medium so you can put a spoon into the head!
