Splurged - Carabinero Prawns

If you’ve ever splurged on some A5 Wagyu, this is kinda the same. Been wanting to try these “Scarlet Shrimp” for a while and my fishmonger got some in. Thankfully he gave me a good deal as they usually are about $100/lb or more and tough to find.
I cooked them on the MM. direct heat for about 90 seconds a side. Finished them on some charred garlic and tomato “rubbed” sourdough bread.
Eat these guys kinda like big crawfish…and don’t forget to either suck the heads, or spread the “head juice” on the bread for an awesome flavor burst. Can’t do these often, but man they were good!

Look DELICIOUS and your cutting board picture is magazine perfect! Excuse my Illinois landlubber stupidity, but why are they so expensive? Hard to catch or what???Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time

Dang-what a great photo spread and even better eats. Nailed that cook. As mentioned, that third shot is definitely magazine photo worthy.Got me a new topic to research.Edit to add the following article-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.

I'm fighting this rabbit hole. But given I have gone down the Florida Stone Crab one from flyover country, the challenge is strong.

Looks phenomenal. An abject lesson on the beauty of simple ingredients treated with reverence.

So far so good but a question: I know how A5 gives a steak an extremely elevated and unique flavour (nod) profile. Can the same be said for these regarding shrimp?Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Sorry for the late response! So besides only being caught in a few European countries, what I’ve read is that they also live about 1000 ft down, so I’d imagine that deep-sea catching these guys must by more pricey. But as a “treat” they were damn tasty!RRP said:Look DELICIOUS and your cutting board picture is magazine perfect! Excuse my Illinois landlubber stupidity, but why are they so expensive?

So here’s my take on that great question. I would say that the flavor and texture difference is definitely greater comparing A5 to say a choice or prime steak. That being said, the flavor of these prawns are richer than any shrimp I’ve ever tasted before. Almost a combination of lobster, prawns and crawfish.lousubcap said:So far so good but a question: I know how A5 gives a steak an extremely elevated and unique flavour (nod) profile.

@cmac610 - thanks for the response. I comprehend your description. It sounds like worth a shot. Always up for something new so I will go down that rabbit hole, at least once.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer!
