🍤🇦🇷 RAW ARGENTINE RED SHRIMP (GAMBÓN) – 2 kg Case

⭐ Frozen on Board: The Freshest Quality, Perfect for Sashimi and Grilling

Welcome to the world of premium seafood! This is a massive 2 kg (4.4 lbs) case of Raw Argentine Red Shrimp (Gambón Argentino Crudo), sourced directly from Argentina.

The exceptional quality is due to the "FROZEN ON BOARD" process, meaning the shrimp are flash-frozen right on the fishing vessel immediately after being caught. This locks in the sweet flavor, bright red color, and firm texture, making these shrimp suitable for both cooking and raw consumption (Sashimi).

This large volume is perfect for serious seafood lovers, party hosting, or stocking up your freezer.

🌟 Why This Shrimp is a Gourmet Deal

1. Sashimi-Grade Quality (Raw Consumption)

High Freshness: The "Frozen on Board" method guarantees peak freshness.

Raw Use: These shrimp are approved for raw consumption, offering a buttery, sweet taste and a tender texture when served as sashimi or nigiri.

2. Jumbo Size and Presentation

Volume: A huge 2 kg (4.4 lbs) case.

Appearance: The shrimp are whole (head and tail on) and naturally red, making them visually stunning for plating grilled dishes, paella, or elaborate spreads.

3. The Flavor Secret (Head-On)

Keeping the heads on, known as "whole or tall" presentation, is a huge advantage. The heads contain the delicious "shrimp butter" (miso), which adds immense depth and flavor to sauces and stocks.

💡 Thawing Hacks & Culinary Tips

The Essential Thawing Hack

Never thaw under running water or at room temperature! Use the salty water method:

Saltwater Thaw: Place the frozen shrimp (still in the shell) in a bowl of cold water mixed with 2-3% salt (about 1.5 Tbsp per liter). This prevents the loss of flavor and moisture, helping the shrimp retain its firm, "pop" texture.

Never Refreeze: Do not refreeze any product that has been thawed, as the quality may change.

Creative Cooking Hacks

Gourmet Stock: Do not throw away the heads! Sauté them lightly in olive oil, mash them to release the juices, and then add water or wine to create an incredibly rich, concentrated shrimp stock for paella, bisque, or seafood pasta sauce.

Simple Grilling: Marinate the whole, shell-on shrimp in olive oil, garlic, and chili flakes. Grill over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. The shells protect the flesh while the heads provide flavor.

Garlic Butter: Use peeled, raw shrimp for a decadent shrimp scampi or garlic butter fry.

🌐 Global Reviews Highlight (Seafood Lover Reviews)

"The quality is outstanding for a frozen product. I use half for sashimi and half for grilling. The sweet, buttery taste is exactly what Argentine red shrimp should be."

"The 2kg bulk is the only way to go. I make a massive batch of shrimp stock with the heads and freeze that separately. Zero waste, maximum flavor."

"Highly recommend the salt water thaw. The texture remains firm, and the shrimp doesn't taste watery at all."
