Fresh Whiteleg Shrimp, Sweet Ocean Flavour

An everyday favourite, these whiteleg shrimp arrive raw and head-on with the pale grey-blue shell that tells you they have been handled well. The tail meat is firm, translucent and gently sweet, so it holds its shape in the pan instead of turning to mush.

Why you'll love it

• Raw and head-on — the shell protects the meat and keeps it plump right up to the moment you cook it.
• Naturally sweet — a clean, delicate flavour that needs nothing more than garlic, butter and a squeeze of lemon.
• Truly versatile — steam, poach, stir-fry, grill, or peel them for dumplings and salads.
• Evenly sized — a consistent count per pack, so every piece cooks at the same speed.

How to cook it

Peel and devein, or leave the shell on for grilling. Sear over high heat for two to three minutes a side until the flesh turns opaque and the shells blush pink. They are ready the moment they curl into a loose C — any tighter and you have taken them too far.
