Leading independent foodservice brand Country Range has added some royalty to its seafood selection with the launch of sweet and juicy king prawns, which are also sustainably sourced and IQF frozen.
Sweet, succulent and supremely versatile, they are perfect simply fried in garlic and butter as a starter, delicious when used as a decadent twist in a classic prawn cocktail and the ideal choice for all manner of exotic curries, pastas, pizzas, salads and surf and turf dishes.
Country Range King Prawns – Sustainably sourced and farmed in warm tropical waters, the King Prawns are IQF frozen within hours of harvest, guaranteeing the freshest and finest quality. Available in two sizes (16/20 count and 26/30 count) in pack sizes of 10 x 1kg (700g net), they’re raw, peeled and deveined for ease of use.
Rachel Porter, Country Range Group Marketing Manager, said: “King prawns are a high-class, versatile ingredient that can add real star factor to menu. With many people reducing their meat intake and switching to pescetarian or flexitarian diets, king prawns are making plenty of appeal at present and becoming even more frequent on menus. Their juicy, rich flavour means they work fantastically well in a variety of globally inspired starters and mains and we’re very confident they will prove to be a key frozen line with our customers going forward.”
