Wild Argentinian prawns are prized for their sweet flavour, firm texture and naturally vibrant pink colour, even when raw. Caught off the coast of South America, these large prawns have a rich, buttery character and a slightly nutty flavour that makes them especially good for quick, simple cooking. Fine Food Specialist
With approximately 15–20 prawns per 1kg pack, they are ideal for grilling, pan-frying, pasta dishes, seafood platters and entertaining. Fine Food Specialist

How to Cook Argentinian Prawns
Argentinian prawns cook quickly, so short cooking times work best to preserve their delicate texture.
Pan-fry them in olive oil or butter with garlic and chilli, grill them over high heat, or roast them briefly with lemon and herbs. The flesh should be just cooked through and firm rather than left on the heat for too long.
Their sweet flavour also works particularly well with Mediterranean and Spanish-style ingredients such as paprika, tomato, parsley and citrus.
What to Serve with Wild Prawns
Wild prawns are extremely versatile and can be served as a starter, incorporated into pasta or risotto, or used as part of a larger seafood spread.
Try them with garlic butter and crusty bread, toss them through linguine with chilli and lemon, or serve them alongside grilled vegetables and fresh herbs.

Frozen Argentinian Prawns for Grilling
These raw frozen prawns are particularly well suited to grilling because their large size and firm texture help them hold up to high heat.
They can be cooked simply with olive oil, lemon and herbs, or marinated briefly before grilling for extra flavour. They also work well as part of a mixed seafood barbecue.
