Wild Carabineros Prawns: The Delightful Flavour and Texture!

Wild carabineros prawns are a true delicacy, known for their strikingly vibrant red colour, which remains even after cooking. This dramatic appearance makes them a showstopper on any plate. Beyond their visual appeal, these red prawns offer a delightful flavour profile. The meat is firm yet tender, juicy and full of oceanic richness. There’s a subtle sweetness to their flavour that distinguishes them from other prawns, while their slightly briny undertones evoke the freshness of the sea. When grilled or seared, our wild carabineros prawns develop a beautiful char that adds a smoky depth to their naturally sweet taste, making each bite succulent and satisfying.
