Shell On Prawns

With their shells left on, shell on prawns suddenly become a unique seafood culinary delight, celebrated for their delicately delicious natural briny flavour and versatility. They promise a seafood experience that can truly captivate the senses. At Essex Oyster Co. our shell on prawns, sourced from pristine waters, are meticulously selected to ensure their optimal freshness and quality.

Richly sweet and flavourful prawns
The real beauty of cooked shell-on prawns lies in a unique combination of succulent, sweet meat and rich flavours, infused together, within the shell, during the cooking process. The shells themselves boast a vibrant hue with beautifully intricate patterns, adding a touch of visual foodie appeal to any dish enhancing your dining experience.

Great in delicate seafood dishes or hearty meals
Whether they’re expertly grilled to perfection, sautéed in a rich garlic and butter sauce, or an ingredient incorporated into a hearty seafood stew, they offer a delicate authentic taste of the ocean. The process of peeling and de-veining prawns at the table is often a culinary ritual, allowing diners to fully engage with their meal savouring every delicious moment.

The shell keeps the sweet flavours locked-in
These tasty shellfish often serve as a blank canvas for creative seasoning and marinades, complementing their flavours and elevating the overall culinary delight of the dish. From American deep south spicy Cajun style rubs, to fresh zesty citrus infusions, their shells act as a natural holding vessel, encapsulating and infusing the depth and complexity of aromas into the prawns’ tender flesh.

Avoid peeling and forget all of the effort!

Shell-on means the culinary reward is well worth it as each bite encapsulates the full depth and flavour of the sea too. This interactive and flavourful dining experience is what makes shell-on prawns a favourite amongst seafood enthusiasts worldwide. Great for those who truly appreciate the connection between their food and the natural world! Why not immerse yourself in such a culinary world of seafood indulgence with them? A delicious adventure that promises a symphony of tastes and textures celebrating the essence of the ocean!
