Wild-caught from tropical and subtropical coastal waters, each mantis shrimp is selected for size, vitality, and meat yield, then expertly prepared with our signature salt-and-pepper seasoning blend that enhances the natural sweetness of the meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMantis shrimp meat is unlike any other shellfish — it has a texture often described as a cross between lobster and crab, with a firm, bouncy, almost crunchy bite and an intensely sweet, succulent flavor. The meat comes in beautiful segments along the body cavity, making it easy to extract in one satisfying pull. Larger specimens yield surprisingly generous portions of meat that rival lobster in both taste and luxury appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur salt-and-pepper preparation uses a proprietary blend of sea salt, Sichuan peppercorn, garlic, chili, and aromatic spices that creates a fragrant, savory crust when pan-seared or deep-fried. The seasoning complements rather than overwhelms the natural sweetness of the shrimp, creating layers of flavor — initial saltiness, followed by gentle numbing warmth from the pepper, then the burst of sweet shrimp meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlternative preparations include steaming with ginger and scallion (Cantonese style), grilling over charcoal with butter and herbs, or deep-frying for a crispy exterior with juicy interior. In many Asian cuisines, mantis shrimp is considered a celebratory dish, often served at banquets and family gatherings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNutritionally, mantis shrimp is an excellent source of lean protein (about 20g per 100g), low in calories, and provides essential minerals including phosphorus, copper, selenium, and Vitamin B12.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorage: Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C. Best consumed within 1 day raw, or 2–3 days if already cooked. Can be frozen at -18°C for up to 3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CONNOR HAYES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63953951097203,"sku":"SHRIMP-MANTIS","price":32.38,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0787\/6723\/files\/MnShmp_grilled_herbs.jpg?v=1786524695","url":"https:\/\/conntech.shop\/products\/salt-pepper-mantis-shrimp","provider":"CONNOR HAYES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
