Jumbo Prawn
₨ 3,000
The Jumbo Prawn is the gold standard for premium seafood, offering a magnificent presence on any plate. Larger than regular varieties but more manageable than the giant tigers, Jumbo Prawns are celebrated for their thick, meaty bodies and an incredible snap when bitten into. Their natural sweetness is more pronounced, making them the ideal candidate for sophisticated preparations like butter-poaching, thermidor, or high-end tandoori grills.
- Minimum Order: 1kg
- Freshness: Wild-caught daily from deep coastal waters and handled with professional precision.
- Texture: Very firm, thick, and succulent with a luxurious sweet-savory profile.
Jumbo Prawns are a versatile culinary masterpiece. To ensure your kitchen operations are seamless and your results are of restaurant-grade quality, we offer precision cleaning services:
1. Whole (Head-on, Shell-on)
Provided in their complete, natural form exactly as harvested.
- Best For: Gourmet BBQ, authentic Mediterranean-style grilling, or salt-crust baking.
- Benefit: The head and shell protect the delicate meat from high heat and release flavorful oils that baste the prawn from the inside out during cooking.
2. Headless (Shell-on)
The head is expertly removed while the body shell is left intact to protect the meat.
- Best For: Pan-searing, boiling for large cocktail platters, or spicy "peel-and-eat" baskets.
- Benefit: Offers a cleaner presentation and easier handling while retaining the shell's ability to lock in natural moisture.
3. Easy-Peel (Deveined, Shell-on)
The head is removed, and the shell is slit down the back to remove the vein, but the shell remains on.
- Best For: Fast grilling or pan-frying where you want the shell-on flavor but quick table access for guests.
- Benefit: Combines the intense flavor of shell-on cooking with the convenience of effortless peeling.
4. Peeled & Deveined (PD)
The head and shell are completely removed, and the digestive track is meticulously cleaned.
- Best For: Luxury pasta dishes, thick-gravy karahis, gourmet biryanis, and stir-fries.
- Benefit: Provides a 100% waste-free, ready-to-cook experience. This is the preferred choice for high-speed, high-quality meal preparation.
5. Tail-on (Butterfly Cut)
The prawn is fully peeled and cleaned, but the tail fan is left intact. The meat is split and opened wide.
- Best For: Restaurant-style "Butterfly" prawns, premium tempura, or elegant dipping appetizers.
- Benefit: The increased surface area allows for even more seasoning or breading, while the tail provides a natural, sophisticated handle.
