CARABINEROS
CARABINEROS - SPANISH RED PAWNS
Excite your palate with these extraordinary Carabineros Spanish Red Prawns, named after the iconic red uniform the Spanish guard wears. With their striking colour and generous size, wild Carabineros are genuinely spectacular. These prawns are perfect for discerning enthusiasts and promise an unforgettable taste journey that will leave you yearning for more.
Our succulent Carabineros are a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, with a firm texture and a sweet yet robust flavour profile distinguishing them from common varieties. The flavour comes mainly from the prawn's prominent head, where the prized coral and its excellent flesh are found. These prawns retain their vibrant hue when cooked and shine when grilled and served with a touch of lemon or fresh pasta.
Feeding solely on plankton and seaweed, Carabineros attain sizes unparalleled by other red prawns. Sourced sustainably and hand-selected for supreme quality, our prawns reflect our dedication to ethical standards, ensuring you savour their exceptional taste while supporting responsible fishing practices.
Unlock one of the ocean's hidden gems with Carabineros. Elevate your culinary creations with these exquisite prawns and indulge with every mouthwatering bite.
Despite their luxurious reputation, cooking Carabineros Prawns is a simple process that allows you to appreciate their rich flavours and vibrant colours.
HOW TO COOK CARABINEROS
1. Start by rinsing the Carabineros Prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Preheat your pan over medium-high heat.
3.Season the prawns with salt and pepper on both sides while the pan is heating up.
4. Once the pan is hot enough, add olive oil.
5. Place the prawns in the pan close to each other but without overlapping. Cook them on one side for 2-3 minutes until they turn bright red.
6. Flip the prawns and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes. Tip: Carabineros prawns have a vibrant natural red colour that intensifies with cooking, so don't judge doneness strictly by colour.
7. Once cooked, remove them from the heat. The prawns should feel firm to the touch, and their shells should turn a deeper shade of red.
8. Serve them immediately while they're still hot, with lemon wedges on the side for added flavour, if desired.
Remember, the head of the Carabineros prawn is packed with flavour. Many love to suck out the juices, which are especially rich, similar to a fine bisque.
Enjoy the unparalleled taste of this seafood delicacy!
