Raw Argentine Red Shrimp (4.4 Lb)

The Southern Prawn (Pleoticus muelleri), also known as Argentine red shrimp or Patagonian prawn, is a species that is characterized by its reddish color and being larger than other shrimp. In recent years it has become very popular due to the great quality and flavor of its meat.

Its distinctive flavor is due to the richness in nutrients of the cold, clean waters of the South Atlantic, near the Argentine coast, where it lives. With a delicate texture, they have a delicious and sweet marine flavor.

The Southern Prawn is:

• Low in calories and fat.
• Rich in minerals and vitamins, especially B12.
• It contains a considerable amount of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Vima's red shrimp are wild and frozen within a few hours of being caught, so they retain all their freshness. They come in different formats, from whole shrimp to shelled or peeled and deveined tails.

With their mild flavor and juicy meat, they are ideal for eating grilled, sautéed or accompanying pasta and rice.
