When good isn’t enough. The Extra Large Headless Prawn is the step-up — bigger, meatier, and more impressive on the plate than our standard large. Headless and deveined, ready to cook with zero prep. Approximately 25–30 prawns per 700g pack, delivered to your door within 12–48 hours.
Why Choose Extra Large?

- Firm texture, naturally sweet flavour — no additives or colourants
- Backed by 30+ years in the seafood industry — Shami trusted for quality and consistency
Large vs Extra Large — What’s the Difference?
- Large Headless Prawns — approx. 28–32 per 700g. The everyday prawn. Excellent value, works in everything.
- Extra Large Headless Prawns — approx. 25–30 per 700g. Fewer prawns, bigger size — when you want to impress.
Serving Suggestions
Pan-fry in garlic butter until golden — at this size, they’re the centrepiece, not the supporting act. Layer into a creamy prawn pasta where every bite counts. Marinate in our Lemon & Herb Marinade and grill for a clean, zesty finish that lets the prawn speak for itself. Or serve on a platter and watch them disappear first.
Storage
