Local School Prawns
School prawns are small, and that is entirely the point. What they lose in size they make up for in concentration — the flavour is denser and sweeter than any large prawn, which is why chefs treat them as a delicacy rather than a budget option.
They are eaten whole, shell and head and all. The shell crisps to nothing in hot oil and the head carries most of the flavour, so cleaning them would throw away the best part. Caught locally and snap frozen.
Why Choose Our School Prawns?
- Locally caught: Australian estuary prawns, not imported.
- Eat them whole: shell, head and all — no peeling, no deveining, no waste.
- Concentrated flavour: far sweeter and more intense than a large prawn.
- Snap frozen: frozen soon after the catch so the heads stay intact.
- Generous portion: and they disappear faster than you expect.
Cooking Methods:
- Tempura: whole, in batter, 160°C for about 45 seconds. Crisp all the way through.
- Salt and pepper: dusted in seasoned flour and flash fried, eaten shell and all.
- Prawn stock: the heads make an intensely flavoured stock for bisque or pasta sauce.
- Fermented prawn paste: ground whole, shell included, the traditional way.
Cooking Tips:
- Do not overcook: the flesh shrinks and toughens quickly at this size. Seconds, not minutes.
- Thaw in the refrigerator: a slow thaw keeps the heads whole, and the heads are where the flavour lives.
Storage:
Keep frozen at -18°C. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator and do not refreeze.

澳洲小河虾（School Prawn）
小河虾体型娇小，而这正是它的价值所在。个头上的不足，全部换成了风味的浓缩 — 鲜甜程度远胜大虾，因此厨师把它当作珍味，而非廉价替代品。
整只连壳带头一起吃。虾壳在热油里酥到入口即化，而虾头承载了绝大部分风味，剥壳去头等于把最好的部分扔掉。本地捕捞，急速冷冻。
为什么选择我们的小河虾？
- 本地捕捞：澳洲河口野生虾，非进口产品。
- 整只可食：连壳带头，免剥壳、免挑虾线、毫无浪费。
- 鲜味浓缩：甜度与鲜度都远超大虾。
- 急速冷冻：捕捞后迅速冷冻，虾头保持完整。
- 分量十足：但往往比想象中消失得更快。
推荐烹饪方式：
- 天妇罗：整只裹浆，160°C 炸约 45 秒，酥到底。
- 椒盐小河虾：拍薄粉快炸，连壳一起吃。
- 虾汤／意式虾汁面：用虾头熬制高汤，鲜味极为浓郁。
- 虾酱：连壳研磨发酵，传统做法。
关键技巧：
- 切忌久煮：个头小，肉质极易收缩变韧 — 以秒计，不以分钟计。
- 冷藏解冻：缓慢解冻才能保持虾头完整，而虾头正是风味所在。
保存方式：
请于 -18°C 冷冻保存。请冷藏缓慢解冻，切勿再次冷冻。
