Product Details:

• Weight: 1KG Large Bulk Pack
  
• Condition: Comes frozen (IQF - Individually Quick Frozen)
  
• Quality: Sashimi Grade / Ready-to-eat after thawing
  
• Flavor Profile: Intense natural sweetness with a soft, succulent bite
  

Guidelines to Defrost:

• Place them in a bowl and thaw in the chiller (0–4°C) for 3–5 hours.
  
• For quicker thawing: Place the shrimp in a strainer and rinse under cold running water for 2–3 minutes until the ice glaze is gone and they are flexible.
  
• Gently pat dry with Reed Paper or kitchen towels before serving to maintain the best texture.
• Note: Do not use warm water, as this will affect the delicate proteins of the shrimp.

Best Ways To Prepare:

• Sashimi: Serve chilled on a bed of shredded radish (daikon) with a touch of wasabi.
  
• Nigiri/Sushi: Peel the shells (leaving the tail on for presentation) and drape over vinegared sushi rice or lightly blow-torch to consume as aburi-style 
• Deep-Fried Heads: Don't waste the heads! Coat them lightly in potato starch and deep-fry until crunchy for a savory Japanese snack.
  
• Chirashi Bowl: Pair with ikura, scallop, and uni over a bed of rice for a luxury seafood bowl.

💡 Pro Tip: The heads can also be used to boil an incredibly rich and umami-filled Miso soup base.

Storage Instructions:

❄️ Once thawed: Store in the chiller (0–4°C) and consume within same day for sashimi or 1 day for cooked dishes.
