Gambas de Palamós

Gambas de Palamós are a renowned and highly prized variety of prawns found in the Mediterranean Sea, specifically near Palamós, a town located on the Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain. These prawns are famous for their exceptional quality, flavor, and size. They are typically larger than average prawns and are recognized for their bright red color, which is even more pronounced when they are cooked.

Gambas de Palamós are celebrated for their intense and exquisite flavor. They have a firm texture and a rich, sweet taste that sets them apart from other varieties of prawns or shrimp. Due to their superior taste and texture, these prawns are often served simply, either grilled or lightly sautéed, to highlight their natural flavor.

In Spanish cuisine, they might be featured in a variety of dishes, from tapas to main courses, and are particularly popular in paellas and seafood stews.
