Habitat
We harvest fresh medium prawns from the clean coastal waters of Pakistan. As a result, they develop a distinctive flavor and texture. Moreover, this natural habitat ensures consistent quality in every catch.
Catching Method
They are caught using bottom trawls, cast nets, bag nets, and beach seines.
Physical Attributes
Medium prawns measure between 8–10 cm, making them ideal for curries, stir-fries, and fried snacks. Their shells are firm and translucent, turning orange-pink when cooked. The flesh is tender, juicy, and mildly sweet, offering a balanced bite without being too heavy.
Color
Medium prawns have a semi‑translucent body with light grey tones. In addition, their shells appear clean and glossy, reflecting their freshness. When cooked, they naturally turn white, which is normal for Indian White Prawns, locally known as Jeera.
Size
Medium prawns are 3 to 5 inches ( whole ). On average, one kilogram contains about 40–50 medium prawns. In addition, peeled prawns increase the count per kilogram because the shell weight is removed.
Peeling Preferences
Medium prawns are preferred to be used Whole, Head-off & Deveined, Tail ON & deveined, and peeled & deveined.
Cooking Preferences
Fresh Medium Prawns are highly versatile in the kitchen. Firstly, they are perfect for curries because their mild sweetness absorbs spices beautifully. Moreover, their tender texture makes them ideal for stir‑fries, adding both flavor and nutrition to everyday meals. In addition, they can be fried to create crispy snacks that are popular across Pakistan. On the other hand, their moderate size ensures quick cooking, which saves time during busy family dinners.
