Our Large Prawns are handled with professional precision to ensure they arrive ready for your high-end recipes. We offer the following specialized cleaning styles:
1. Whole (Head-on, Shell-on)
Prawns are provided in their complete, natural state, exactly as they come from the sea.
- Best For: Gourmet BBQ, charcoal grilling, or traditional recipes where the prawn is cooked whole to maximize flavor.
- Benefit: The head and shell act as a flavor chamber, releasing rich oceanic oils during cooking that infuse the meat with a deep, savory intensity.
2. Headless (Shell-on)
The head is expertly removed while the rest of the shell remains intact.
- Best For: Pan-searing, boiling for large-prawn cocktails, or spicy "peel-and-eat" platters.
- Benefit: Provides a cleaner appearance and easier handling at the table while the shell continues to protect the meat and lock in moisture.
3. Peeled & Deveined (PD)
The head and shell are completely removed, and the digestive track is meticulously cleaned.
- Best For: Gourmet pasta, thick curries, biryanis, and stir-fries.
- Benefit: Offers a 100% waste-free, ready-to-cook experience. This is the ultimate choice for premium meals where convenience and quality are equally important.
4. Tail-on (Peeled & Deveined)
The body is fully peeled and cleaned, but the tail fan is left intact for a professional finish.
- Best For: High-end restaurant-style plating, crispy tempura, or dipping appetizers.
- Benefit: The tail provides a natural handle for dipping and creates an elegant, visually stunning presentation on the plate.
