The king prawn is a shellfish found in the seas all over the world. The Mediterranean is home to one of the most appreciated varieties.
It is a ten-legged crustacean with a semi-hard shell, pink in colour with brownish marbling. Today it is one of the most consumed shellfish due to its exquisite flavour, as well as the fact it can be purchased frozen, at a lower price than other species.
When cooked sous-vide, all of its juice and flavour remains inside the bag, so it is not lost during cooking.
