Fresh Mantis Shrimp
Fresh Mantis Shrimp
About this item
A spotted, hard-shelled shrimp holding some of the sweetest meat in the sea. The flesh is firm and springy, closer to lobster than to an ordinary prawn, and it keeps that bite when steamed or boiled whole. Split the shell along the back and the tail meat lifts free in one piece. Serve with a sharp vinegar or soy dip, or drop them into a seafood boil at the last minute so they stay tender.
