EXQUISITE QUALITIES: Similar to small lobsters rather than shrimp, the magnificent Red Carabineros prawns are an astounding 2-3 per pound. Their stunning ruby red hue remains even after cooking, and the robust tail meat has a divine, buttery taste. Native to Spain, the East Atlantic, and Morocco, these distinctive and rare prawns are often known as simply Carabineros among Spanish and Portuguese cultures. We handpick only the most exceptional and succulent Jumbo Red Carabineros to ensure an indulgent, juicy experience with every bite.
BEHIND THE PRODUCT: Also called Scarlet Cardinal Prawns, the Carabineros Prawn is named after the bright red uniforms worn by the Spanish Police (Carabineros). Their vibrant color comes from their diet of pink plankton, a staple in their natural habitat among the Spanish sea.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: The key to cooking red carabineros is to do so slowly.
