Australian King PrawnsSweet by Nature. Built for Every Kitchen.
Few ingredients capture the Australian coastline quite like King Prawns.
Wild-caught from Australia's pristine coastal waters, King Prawns are celebrated for their naturally sweet flavour, firm texture and remarkable versatility. Whether grilled over charcoal, served whole on ice or folded through fresh pasta, they deliver the balance of elegance and simplicity that great seafood is known for.
For chefs, they're one of the most dependable ingredients in the kitchen.
For diners, they're unmistakably Australian.
