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.

These Extra 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.
