Beautiful shrimp!!! The classic situation where our taste buds are awakened when we look at the dish. This is a large shrimp (up to 35 cm) and its purplish-red color is striking, creating a delightful visual. One could say it's a shrimp with personality, meaning an intense taste of the sea. The price is not at all inviting, but... it's worth the experience!

General information

General characteristics

This shrimp has always been present on the Brazilian coast, but it only entered the market in 2022. This is because it is a deep-water shrimp (700 to 800 meters deep) and, therefore, difficult to catch. Perfect for grilling, the scarlet shrimp is versatile and super easy to prepare. An interesting fact: because it inhabits deep waters, it lives at a temperature of around 5°C!
