"Langostinos Sanlucar de Barrameda" Sanlucar Tiger Prawn

This native and unique spice can only be found in the Gulf of Cadiz areas. Is delicate, consistent, and long-tasting. We highly recommend steam cooking it. 

This crustacean grows in the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, in the region of Sanlucar
de Barrameda in Cadiz, on whose shores are found the largest Ecologic Reserve in Europe, Donana National Park.

All of this is supplemented by the most traditional and sustainable fishing gear. These characteristics give the Sanlucar Tiger Prawn a distinct flavor. A much stronger flavor than fish from other areas.

The langostinos of Sanlucar de Barrameda is famous the World over. Bathed in a mix of fresh water from the Guadalquivir and the salty currents of the Atlantic, it is renowned for its uniquely firm texture and sweet flavor. Gently harvested using traditional methods ( trammel) that have been used for centuries, the "langostinos" are live-caught, ensuring freshness and high quality.

SERVING RECOMMENDATION

How to boil seafood:
- 500grams/1lb of fresh seafood
-200g grams/1/4 pound of course-grained sea salt
-Plenty of ice
1. Place a casserole with a large amount of water, on medium heat
2. In another casserole, mix the grained sea salt, water, and ice.
3. When the water in the first casserole starts to boil, add the seafood,
making sure that they are completely covered by water.
4. Bring the water back to a boil, for about two minutes, and then pull the seafood out of the hot water and plunge them into the ice-cold and salt water. Submerge them in the cold salt water bath until they are chilled and have soaked up some of the SALT. About 5 minutes.
5. Serve whole

It is a crustacean from the same family as the prawn and thus has a similar appearance. Its unmistakable feature is the colors that it displays on its body: whitish horizontal bands alternate with others of an almost reddish-orange color. 

But it's their nutrition that sets them apart from prawns from other fishing grounds, such as Morocco. Because of the distinct characteristics of the water in which it grows, it has a distinct diversity. An area adjacent to the Doñana National Park is known for having one of the highest levels of biological diversity in Europe, if not the world.
