White prawn, 500 g

Description

The white prawn (Parapenaus longirostris) is a shellfish similar to the red prawn but with a mild flavour.

500 g of prawns are perfect for two people. For a main dish, 250 g per person. For a dish with other ingredients, like rice dishes, we recommend 80-100 g per person.

About white prawn

The name may vary depending on the fishing port. In the past, this species was found in the Atlantic Ocean and the south of the Iberian Peninsula but, lately, it also lives on the Catalan coast.

Its flavour is milder than the red prawn’s, and its subtly aromatic sweetness makes it a delicate feast, appreciated by the most critical gourmets.
