You've never had shrimp like this before! More like dwarf lobsters than shrimp, these are one of the most coveted prawns in kitchens worldwide. Carabineros are large deep-sea prawns that hail from the Eastern Atlantic into the Mediterranean Sea. They are renowned for their jumbo size and striking bright red color that does not change when cooked. More distinct and robust in flavor than other shrimps or langoustine, the Spanish suggest they should be treated as a delicate small lobster versus a simple shrimp. Traditionally prepared in Spain and Portugal as simply salted and grilled, they are also excellent poached, sautéed or steamed. Rumor has it their name comes from the fact that Spanish Customs Police (Carabineros in Spanish) wear a uniform of the same bright red color.
