About this item

These are taken from the water whole, heads on and shells intact, then frozen while the tail is still curled. That curl is worth keeping: it holds the flesh tight against the shell, so the flesh stays firm through a hot pan instead of turning to mush. Size lands comfortably in the palm, which makes them practical for a grill, a shallow fry or a quick poach. Because they are raw, they take on whatever you cook them in.
