What Makes River Prawns Special: River prawns (langostinos de río) are a prized delicacy in Mexico, known for their sweet, delicate flavor that's distinctly different from ocean shrimp. Wild-caught from freshwater rivers, these prawns offer a unique taste experience that's beloved in traditional Mexican coastal and riverside cuisine.
Perfect For: Grilled with garlic and butter, aguachile, ceviche, tacos de camarón de río, sautéed preparations, traditional Mexican seafood dishes, or any recipe where you want to showcase this rare freshwater delicacy.
Preparation: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Since they're raw, cook thoroughly - grill, sauté, boil, or prepare in your favorite style. The sweet, delicate meat cooks quickly and pairs beautifully with garlic, butter, lime, and chile.
Serving Suggestion: With 8-12 prawns per pound, plan for about 1/2 to 3/4 pound per person for a main course. The generous size makes them perfect for grilling or showcasing in traditional preparations.
Chef's Tip: Don't overcook! River prawns cook quickly - just 2-3 minutes per side when grilling or sautéing. Their sweet, delicate flavor shines with simple preparations like garlic butter or a squeeze of fresh lime.
