Mantis Shrimp

Prized for its lobster-like sweetness and firm, meaty texture, this striking crustacean is one of the great seafood delicacies. Served simply with ginger, soy and a squeeze of citrus, it needs nothing more.

Why You'll Love It

• Sweet, rich meat — closer to lobster than to ordinary prawns
• Firm, springy texture — holds beautifully when steamed or grilled
• Distinctive and impressive — a segmented body and banded tail make a striking plate
• High in protein — lean, nourishing and satisfying
