Fresh Plump Mantis Shrimp

Sweet, firm meat that eats closer to lobster than prawn — cleaned, trimmed and ready for the pan.

• Flavour — delicate and sweet, with a clean marine finish
• Texture — firm and meaty, juicy when just cooked through
• Prep — cleaned and trimmed, so there is nothing to do but cook

How to cook

Steam, grill or flash-fry. They are ready the moment the shell turns bright and opaque — two to three minutes is usually all it takes. Overcooking tightens the meat, so pull them out early.

What you get

Roughly 6–8 inches each, graded for even size so they cook at the same rate. Supplied chilled, 2 kg per order.

Good for

Garlic and ginger stir-fry, salt-and-pepper frying, and seafood platters.
