    This king prawn (Penaeus species) inhabits mostly warm waters off the coast of Guinea. The largest concentration is off the Gulf of Guinea.

    “King prawn” is the generic name for a number of crustacean species. The colour of its shell varies within the pinkish-brown range, with a series of transverse bands on the abdomen, which are lighter in males than in females. Generally reddish in colour, its shell is thin and its flavour mild, meaning it’s perfect for griddles and grills. Its meat is softer than that of other types of prawn.

    It has a low fat and carbohydrate content, making it perfect for slimming diets. Rich in omega 3 acids, magnesium and iron, it helps prevent cardiovascular diseases and regulates both cholesterol levels and iron-deficiency anaemia.

    There are many and varied ways to enjoy this seafood. The most popular methods, however, are to cook it along with sauces, or to grill it, simply with olive oil and salt.
