Medium Prawns

Introduction

Locally known as Jheenga, these medium-sized prawns are a regular feature in Pakistani kitchens. With their sweet, firm bite and quick cooking time, they’re perfect for everything from traditional karahi-style curries to garlic butter stir-fries.

Local Names in Pakistan

You might also hear them called Jaira, Kalri, or Saana in different coastal regions — a reflection of their popularity across the seafood markets of Karachi and beyond.

Where They’re From

Our prawns are sourced fresh from coastal waters, processed the same day, and delivered to you clean and ready to cook. Every batch is handled with care to preserve their texture, flavor, and quality — no frozen stock unless requested.

Approximate Count Per Kg

Each kilogram contains around 50 to 70 medium prawns, making it a great choice for both everyday cooking and family gatherings.

Cutting & Cleaning Options

All prawns are cleaned hygienically and packaged to maintain freshness.

Cooking Ideas

Medium prawns cook quickly and absorb flavor beautifully:

• Grilled with lemon and chili for a smoky touch

• Fried golden brown for a crispy snack or starter

• Cooked in curry with desi masalas for a traditional feast

• Stir-fried with garlic, green chili, and butter for something fast and flavorful

Flavor & Texture

These prawns have a slightly sweet, ocean-fresh taste and a firm yet tender texture. They’re incredibly versatile — mild enough for light dishes, yet bold enough to hold their own in rich spices.

Freshness & Sourcing

Our prawns are locally sourced and prepared fresh in Karachi — ensuring great taste while supporting responsible seafood practices. We deliver them cleaned and chilled for your convenience.

Storage Tips

Store in the refrigerator and use within 2–3 days for best taste. If needed, freezing is a great way to preserve texture and flavor without losing quality.

Pairings & Seasonings

Medium prawns go well with:

• Lemon and garlic

• Chili flakes or green masala

• Serve them with rice, roti, or a light salad depending on the dish style

How to Pick Fresh Prawns

Look for prawns that are:

• Firm to the touch

• Slightly translucent

• Mild-smelling, with a fresh sea aroma

We ensure only the freshest ones are packed and delivered.
