One of the original stars of our marinated range and still one of our most popular products.

Prepared using Extra Large King Prawns, these generous prawns are already peeled and deveined before being coated in our famous Super Garlicky marinade. The combination of sweet prawns, garlic, herbs and seasoning is wonderfully simple, but sometimes the simplest combinations are the best.

Quick to cook and incredibly versatile, these prawns are perfect for everything from a speedy midweek supper to an indulgent starter with plenty of crusty bread.

Containing approximately 40-45 prawns per kilo, they're generous, delicious and wonderfully easy to prepare.

Suitable for freezing on the day of purchase. As the UK has no commercial king prawn fishery, king prawns are imported and frozen on harvest to preserve their quality. If you're not planning to use them immediately, simply pop them into your freezer on the day of purchase.

Simple ingredients. Serious flavour.

Did You Know...?
The species of King Prawn we use is Litopenaeus vannamei, commonly known as the Pacific White Prawn.

Whilst most people simply refer to them as King Prawns, scientific names are often the only reliable way of identifying exactly which species you're buying. Common names vary enormously around the world and the same prawn can be known by several different names depending on where it's sold.

Of course, most customers don't ask for Litopenaeus vannamei. Sue usually does!

Fishmongers are a special breed.

Cooking Instructions

Heat a frying pan until nice and hot. There's no need to add any oil as the marinade already contains plenty.

Add the prawns and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pink, opaque and piping hot throughout.

Take care not to overcook them - prawns only need a few minutes in the pan.

Serving Suggestions
Perfect served with crusty bread to mop up all the delicious garlicky juices.

They're also fantastic tossed through pasta, spooned over rice, added to salads or served alongside a crisp green salad and a wedge of lemon.

Quick, easy and utterly delicious.
