₨ 1,800
The Medium Prawn, popularly known as Regular Jhinga, is the most sought-after size for both home cooks and professional chefs. Perfectly balancing size and flavor, these prawns are large enough to be the star of a dish while remaining delicate enough to absorb complex marinades and spices. Whether you are tossing them into a fiery karahi, a creamy pasta, or a zesty stir-fry, the Medium Prawn delivers a succulent bite and a sweet, oceanic richness that defines premium seafood.

- Average Size: Approximately 45-55 pieces per kg, depending on fresh catch availability on order delivery day.

Our Medium Prawns are processed with "A-to-Z" attention to detail to ensure they arrive ready for your specific culinary needs. We offer the following professional preparation styles:
1. Whole (Head-on, Shell-on)
Prawns are provided in their complete, natural state.
- Best For: Authentic BBQ grilling, deep-frying, or creating rich, homemade seafood stocks and bisques.
- Benefit: The shell and head act as a flavor reservoir, infusing the meat with deep oceanic oils and protecting it from drying out under high heat.
2. Headless (Shell-on)
The head is expertly removed, while the body shell is left intact.
- Best For: Pan-searing, boiling for shrimp cocktails, or "peel-and-eat" style baskets.
- Benefit: This style offers a cleaner appearance and easier handling while the shell continues to lock in moisture and flavor during the cooking process.
3. Peeled & Deveined (PD)
The head and shell are completely removed, and the digestive track is meticulously cleaned.
- Best For: Quick-cook dishes like biryanis, pasta sauces, stir-fries, and traditional gravies.
- Benefit: Offers a 100% waste-free, ready-to-cook experience. It is the ultimate convenience for high-quality meals without the prep time.
4. Tail-on (Peeled & Deveined)
The prawn is fully peeled and cleaned, but the tail fan is left intact.
- Best For: Restaurant-style presentation, crispy tempura, or dipping appetizers.
- Benefit: The tail provides a natural handle for eating and adds a touch of professional elegance to your plating.
