Why Red Prawns Are a Seafood Delicacy

Not all prawns are created equal. Red prawns live in cold, deep waters, where slow growth gives their flesh an intense sweetness and a silky, almost creamy texture. The deep red shell is a natural sign of their diet and habitat, not a dye or additive. For many chefs and seafood lovers, they are the closest thing to a lobster experience in prawn form.

A natural sweetness that stands out clearly against milder farmed prawns.

Graded for raw eating, so you can serve them as sushi, crudo or carpaccio.

The head holds a rich, savoury paste that many consider the best part.

Explore Our Red Prawn Selection

Our red prawn range covers three tiers of quality and price, so there is a match whether you are hosting a tasting menu or feeding a hungry family.

The carabinero is the crown jewel of the red prawn family. Our Spanish carabinero scarlet prawns are wild caught and graded for sashimi, arriving jumbo sized at around 5 to 7 prawns per kilo. Their deep scarlet shell and bold, briny sweetness make them a genuine showstopper, whether served raw, flash grilled or laid over fresh pasta. For slightly smaller portions that still deliver the same luxury, we also carry a carabinero pack of around 8 to 10 prawns per kilo.

Landed from the deep waters off Portugal, our FRIP wild deep sea red shrimp are a connoisseur favourite. Sold as a box of around 14 pieces, they offer the same sweet, sashimi grade flesh in a convenient size for home cooks. Enjoy them raw for the purest taste, or sear them briefly to draw out a deeper, roasted sweetness.

For a lighter, more everyday option, our FRIP wild deep sea pink shrimp come in a generous 800g pack at a 31/40 count. They carry the clean, sweet character of deep sea prawns at a friendlier price, which makes them ideal for pasta, risotto, hot pot and family sized seafood spreads.

Prefer a more familiar prawn for everyday cooking? Our head on tiger prawns are perfect for grilling and hot pot, while sweet cold water northern prawns arrive cooked and ready to serve straight from the pack. Add a few packs to round out your seafood order.

How to Cook and Enjoy Red Prawns

Red prawns are prized for their flavour, so the golden rule is simple: do less. Overcooking masks their natural sweetness and firms up the tender flesh, so for sashimi grade prawns, raw or barely cooked is usually best.

  • Sashimi and crudo: peel, devein and serve raw with a squeeze of citrus and a little sea salt.
  • Flash grilled: cook them shell on over high heat for a minute or two per side, then squeeze the head juices over the flesh.
  • Pasta and rice: fold them in near the end of cooking for prawn pasta, paella or risotto.
  • Never waste the head: the rich paste inside makes a superb sauce or stock base.

Thaw your prawns slowly in the chilled section of your fridge, then pat them dry with kitchen paper before cooking. Cook within a day of thawing and avoid refreezing, which protects both taste and food safety.

FAQs About Red Prawns

Red prawns are wild deep sea prawns, including Spanish carabinero and Portuguese red shrimp, named for their striking red shell. They live in cold, deep waters, which gives them a naturally sweet, rich flavour that is prized by chefs around the world.

Red prawns such as carabinero have a bolder, sweeter, more intense flavour, a deep red shell and larger sizes. Deep sea pink shrimp are lighter and milder, sold in higher counts at a friendlier price, which makes them a great everyday choice.

Yes. Our carabinero and deep sea red and pink shrimp are wild caught from deep Atlantic and Mediterranean waters, then frozen at source to lock in their flavour. Wild deep sea prawns are known for a sweeter, cleaner taste than most farmed varieties.
