Italian foodies rate these Sicilian red prawns above all other shellfish. These Gambero Rosso are a rare and delicious treat. Fished by net from waters up to 1000m deep, the extra pressure gives the Gambero Rosso a melting texture and creamy taste. These are the largest of the Sicilian red prawns - 12cm.

And if you balk at the cost remember, in the finest of Italian restaurants 5 Gambero Rosso cost 40 euros!
