Carabineros Prawns, Extra Large, Red, 5/7 Count Reviews

Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Extra Large Carabineros Prawns, 5/7 count Carabineros, also known as Carabineros prawns, Scarlet Shrimp, Cardinal Prawns, or Crevette Imperiale, are large deep-sea prawns from the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. Renowned for their jumbo size and striking bright red color, these prawns are a favorite in professional kitchens worldwide. The name Carabineros translates to 'police' in Spanish, possibly due to the prawns' shell color resembling police uniforms. Their red color does not change when cooked, unlike lobster shells. Carabineros have a more distinct and robust flavor than other shrimps or langoustines, and their large size makes them a desirable choice. The meat is mainly concentrated in the tail, but the cephalothoraxes (head and body) are not to be overlooked. They are excellent for making clear and creamed soups.

Extra Large Carabinero Prawns are by far the best prawns I have ever eaten, I have purchased them twice and will again again. You are missing out if you don’t try them and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Equal first as the best shellfish I've tasted - up there in quality with fresh Langoustine from the coast of Applecross in Scotland. Very large prawns that are sweet and juicy with meat in the head that's tastes like lobster bisque.

The most sublime taste, succulent, sweet and knocks lobster firmly into second place. Expensive but worth every penny. You will not be disappointed and your guests will be begging for more! Fab work Basco

Had these prawns last night for our evening meal. They were delicious. Cooked simply on a bed of sea salt in a frying pan, I would recommend these extra large prawns to anyone who likes seafood. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
