Meat & Potatoes also sells high-quality seafood, including wild-caught Alaskan seafood and other amazing staple items that go well with our meat and potatoes.
One of those specific items is our U8 Prawns. These are large prawns, with anywhere between six to eight of them per pound. They are already butterfly-cut in the shell, which makes them great for grilling and presentation—always leave that shell on for presentation!
This recipe is simple, focusing on highlighting the naturally sweet flavor of the large prawns with a complementary sweet and savory topper.
