Prawns with Cognac
“IMPERIAL” RED SHRIMP
The shrimp is a product that has always been present in the Mediterranean cuisine, often with the role of embellishing basic recipes such as salad seafood or used in the most important events as an accompaniment in grilled preparations and all’acqua pazza of medium size fishes.
One of the most valuable species in the Mediterranean basin is represented by “Imperial” Red Shrimp (Aristeus antennatus), these shrimp from the particularly delicious taste are used to be served raw or slightly blanched to enhance the fragrance and not to alter the texture of the flesh.
The prawns, for their great versatility, are well suited to simple and tasty preparations such as those of “Fast Food”, and at the same time, to reign in the most spectacular Gourmet preparations.
