[Sashimi Grade] Paradise Prawn

Paradise prawns are recognisable straight out of the pack: a soft pink shell, a clean sea smell and none of the muddy note cheaper prawns carry. They come from clean, unpolluted waters and are frozen at sashimi grade, so they can go on a sashimi plate as readily as into a wok.

The flesh is firm and springy with a distinct natural sweetness — the kind of prawn that needs salt and heat and nothing else. It holds its shape well, which makes it as good on a barbecue as it is steamed.

Why Choose Our Paradise Prawns?

• Sashimi grade: frozen to a standard that allows raw service.
• Naturally sweet: fine textured, firm and noticeably sweeter than a standard prawn.
• Clean waters: raised in unpolluted waters, with a clean taste to match.
• Holds its shape: firm enough for the grill, the steamer and the wok.
• Lean protein: high in protein, low in fat.

Cooking Methods:

• Sashimi: peel the raw tails, serve chilled with soy and wasabi.
• Steamed: whole with garlic and vermicelli, 4-5 minutes, finished with hot oil and soy.
• Barbecued: whole in the shell, high heat, 2 minutes a side, lemon and salt.
• Salt and pepper: dusted and flash fried, tossed with chilli, garlic and spring onion.
• Stir fried: peeled, over the highest heat, under 2 minutes.

Cooking Note:
Prawns are done the moment they turn opaque and curl. Anything past that costs you the texture.

Thawing:
Thaw in the refrigerator (0-4°C). Never use hot water or a microwave.

Storage:
Keep frozen at -18°C. Use within 1 day of thawing and do not refreeze.

Raw Consumption Note:
If you are pregnant, elderly, very young or have low immunity, cook the prawns through rather than eating them raw.
