Second only to our legendary Super Garlicky King Prawns, these have become a firm favourite with customers who enjoy a little warmth alongside their seafood.

Prepared using Extra Large King Prawns, these generous prawns are already peeled and deveined before being coated in our delicious Piri Piri marinade. Packed with garlic, peppers, spices and a gentle chilli warmth, the flavour is bold and vibrant without being overwhelmingly hot.

Quick to cook and incredibly versatile, they're equally at home as a speedy midweek supper, piled into wraps, tossed through pasta or served alongside a crisp salad.

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.

A little heat. A lot of flavour.

Did You Know...?
Prawns have their skeleton on the outside. Unlike humans, whose bones sit inside the body, prawns belong to a group of animals called crustaceans and wear a hard external shell known as an exoskeleton. As they grow, they periodically shed this shell and grow a new, larger one.

It's a bit like outgrowing your trousers, except you have to leave your entire suit behind.

Nature is wonderfully weird.

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
Delicious served with rice, noodles, salads or wrapped in warm flatbreads with crunchy slaw and a dollop of mayo.

They're also fantastic stirred through pasta or simply enjoyed with crusty bread to mop up all the delicious cooking juices.

Quick, easy and packed with flavour.
