    Carabineros shrimp

    Picked up some pricey carabineros shrimp at central Market. Has anyone cooked these? Grill with head and shell on or peel?

    Wow, a Crawfish colored Prawn.

    Jaime Foxx once got caught stealing Prawns.

      You see how small that bin is, supply and demand

      I did notice the inventory was minimal. Like they weren't anticipating a high demand. At that price they might have to just throw them away.๐Ÿ™„ Pricing strategies... Pigs get fat and Hogs get slaughtered. Don't be a hog.๐Ÿ˜ฌ

    It's "shrimp fest" at Central Market in Austin, they have all sorts of exotic shrimp in the case for a limited time

      No way Jose. That cost is ridiculous

        But those things are beautiful! When we lived in Mass, we used to head up to NH in season and get Maine Shrimp. They're really small, but red like those Spanish ones. They were delicious (and cheap).

          I'd probably process like whole lobster. Like they might do in Spain, cut in half and sear on a plancha. I'd do it on the flat side of GrillGrates or on a cast iron pan.

            I'd buy those shrimp before a dry-aged ribeye

              You've got an eye for deals!

            We have a local spot in Newport Beach that sells Santa Barbara Spot Prawns when they are in. Amazing!! I was intimidated by them and didn't buy them. Great fish too!

              Do not peel or take the heads off! You need those things whole to enjoy the the power of their taste. Enjoy!

              Research suggests that this is a decent price for what it is. There's cooking advice here as well.

              One of the most sought after prawns in professional kitchens worldwide, beautiful Carabineros are a large deep-sea prawn species that hail from Eastern Atlantic into the Mediterranean Sea. Order today!

              So how did you prepare them? And how did they turn out?

              My wife would kill me if I came home with $40 per pound shrimp.

              As for inventory, notice they are frozen? They could have a ton of them in the freezer and just thaw out more when they sell out. (yeah, I know, probably not)
