Essence of Mediterranean Red Prawn (Gambero Rosso)

This Red Prawn Essence is created with passion and mastery, obtained from the heads of prized red prawns from Mazara del Vallo, carefully selected and processed to preserve their intense aroma and superior quality. It has a velvety texture and is rich in flavor, perfectly representing the pure essence of the sea.

A versatile and refined ingredient, perfect for enhancing a variety of dishes. It can be added during the cooking of risotto to impart a deep flavor and aroma of the sea.  It’s also excellent as a base for sauces to pair with grilled or steamed fish. Pasta, dressed with this essence, transforms into a quick yet impactful dish, pairing beautifully with linguine, spaghetti, or tagliolini, enriched with prawns or other seafood.  The bisque is also an excellent addition to seafood stews or soups, intensifying their oceanic flavor.

What makes Mazara del Vallo red prawns special? Don Gambero’s Red Prawns live at a depth of about 700 meters, where strong sea currents contribute to making their flesh firm. The high evaporation that the Mediterranean Sea undergoes in the hot season enriches the prawns with minerals, giving them their unmistakable flavor. The red prawn also stands out for its low calorie content and high iodine content.
