More prawns, same head-on flavour. The 31–40 gives you slightly smaller prawns but more of them per pack - ideal for curries, broths, and dishes where the heads do the heavy lifting in the sauce. Great value without compromising on taste. Approximately 31–40 prawns per 800g pack, delivered to your door within 12–48 hours.
Why Choose 31-40?
- More prawns per pack — great for feeding a crowd or batch cooking
- Head-on — adds depth and richness to curries, broths, and sauces
- Excellent value — same head-on quality as 26-30 at a lower price point
- No artificial additives or colourants
- Backed by 30+ years in the seafood industry — Shami trusted for quality and consistency
26-30 vs 31-40 — What’s the Difference?
Both sizes are head-on and equally suited to curries, grilling, and platters. The only difference is size — fewer prawns per pack means a bigger, meatier prawn.
- Head On Prawns 26-30 — approx. 26–30 per 800g. Larger individual prawns with a more substantial bite.
- Head On Prawns 31-40 — approx. 31–40 per 800g. More prawns per pack, brilliant value.
