Whole Purple Prawns - XXL Size
Sicilin Purple Prawn is a crustacean native to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. Very similar to the red shrimp, the purple shrimp is characterized by a lighter coloration with blue and purple hues.
These medium size purple prawns in 1 kg package are about 20/22 pieces per tray.
What makes Sicilian purple prawns special?
The shell that protects the shrimp is thinner than that of the red shrimp, and the upper part above the head has 3 teeth (versus 5 in the red shrimp). The purple shrimp is a very rare crustacean that lives in very deep seabeds, up to 1,500 meters: very popular in all traditional Mediterranean cuisines, it is recommended, as with the red shrimp, to eat it raw.
