Gambas de Palamós live in the Mediterranean on the Palamós coast in Catalunya.These large shrimp of a beautiful pearly red are distinguished from red prawns (called “carabineros”) by their more delicate and sweet, almost vanilla, taste.
Their flesh, more crisp than that of lobster, can be eaten raw, with salt and a drop of olive oil. But the iodized flavors of the sea are concentrated miraculously in their head, a delicious, natural bisque (soup) which can be sucked out between your two fingers (after removing the shell) or with the help of a straw.
