Description

Argentinian Red Prawns Large is 2kg of large Argentinian Red prawns from Lanzal at 10 to 20 pieces per kilo — wild-caught from the cold Patagonian South Atlantic, with a striking red colour, extraordinary sweetness and a firm, meaty texture. Argentinian Red prawns large are among the finest wild prawns available. As a result, they appear on the menus of the finest Spanish and Argentine restaurants. Furthermore, the Lanzal brand is the benchmark for Argentine prawn quality and cold-chain integrity. In particular, the head-on format retains the full flavour and visual impact of this exceptional prawn.

About Argentinian Red Prawns Large

We source our prawns and langoustine from specialist suppliers across the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific. In particular, we select every variety for its provenance, flavour profile and the quality standards of the fishery or farm. As a result, our prawn range spans everything from everyday wild Atlantic prawns to some of the rarest and most celebrated shellfish in the world. Furthermore, prawn and langoustine quality varies enormously by species, origin and handling. However, the difference between correctly handled premium shellfish and a poorly sourced alternative is immediately apparent in the eating. In particular, species like Carabineros, Gambero Rosso and Obsiblue are in a completely different class from commodity prawns. Additionally, we work with suppliers who share our insistence on correct cold chain from catch to delivery. That commitment to genuine quality drives every sourcing decision we make. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Argentinian Red Prawns Large From Us

Cooking prawns and langoustine well requires very little technique but a clear understanding of heat and timing. In contrast to meat cookery, prawns need only seconds over high heat. As a result, the single most important rule is never to overcook. Furthermore, a premium prawn like Carabineros or Gambero Rosso needs nothing more than a hot pan, good olive oil and sea salt. However, flavour-forward varieties like Argentinian Red also suit raw preparations where their sweetness shines. In particular, langoustine deserve the gentlest possible treatment – a brief split and grill or a few minutes in a court bouillon. Moreover, defrosting correctly matters as much as cooking correctly. Additionally, always defrost premium shellfish overnight in the fridge rather than under running water, which leaches flavour. That patience in defrosting pays immediate dividends in the eating.

How to Cook Argentinian Red Prawns Large

To get the very best from it:

  • Defrost overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook shell-on in a very hot pan or griddle with good olive oil and sea salt for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Furthermore, Argentinian Red prawns large suit a simple gambas al ajillo preparation with garlic and dried chilli in olive oil.
  • Additionally, split and grill on a very hot barbecue for 2 minutes and serve with chimichurri for a South American preparation.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

  • Good olive oil, garlic and sea salt — nothing more is needed
  • Chimichurri for a South American barbecue preparation
  • Lemon, parsley and good bread for the simplest possible serving
  • A glass of chilled Albarino, Manzanilla or a dry Cava alongside

Storage: Keep frozen and defrost in the fridge overnight before use. Furthermore, once defrosted use within 24 hours and do not refreeze. However, for the finest result always defrost slowly in the fridge rather than under running water, which draws out flavour. Delivered frozen and ready to defrost and cook.

However you cook it, this product brings a flavour and quality that only carefully sourced shellfish can deliver. Moreover, the finest prawns and langoustine always reward the simplest preparations.
