Cooked Crevettes, 2kg

Cooked Crevettes 2kg is 2kg of cooked crevettes — the classic French large cooked prawn, head-on and shell-on, ready to serve on a seafood platter or as a starter. This are the centrepiece of a great French seafood platter. As a result, they suit immediate serving with good mayonnaise, lemon and crusty bread. Furthermore, at 2kg this is a generous quantity for a large sharing platter or a dinner party centrepiece. In particular, the head-on format preserves the full flavour and the dramatic visual presentation of a whole prawn on ice.

About Cooked Crevettes 2kg

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 Cooked Crevettes 2kg 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.

To get the very best from it:
