Fresh Brown Shrimps Sea Catch (روبيان بني)

Product Identity & Origin

Brown Shrimps (Scientific name: Farfantepenaeus aztecus), belonging to the Penaeidae family, are prized for their firm texture and robust, sweet flavor profile. Sourced from the pristine waters of FAO Fishing Area 51 (Western Indian Ocean), these wild-caught gems are harvested using sustainable trawling methods. In UAE culture, these shrimps are the centerpiece of traditional Friday meals like Shrimp Machboos and Sayadieh. Unlike farmed varieties, these sea-catch brown shrimps possess a distinct reddish-brown shell and a deep “ocean” taste that holds up perfectly under intense spices.

How to Cook Brown Shrimps

• Pan-Seared Garlic Butter: Thaw shrimps and pat dry. Sear in a hot pan (180°C) for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Perfect for domestic helpers to prepare as a quick, high-protein topper for salads.
• Grilled Gulf Skewers: Marinate in lemon, saffron, and olive oil. Grill over high heat for 5 minutes. The firm texture of brown shrimp makes them ideal for open-flame cooking without breaking apart.
