Headless Shell-On Prawns — FAQs
What is headless shell-on prawn?
The head is removed but the shell stays on. It is our base cut — less waste than whole prawns (no heads), with the shell still adding rich flavour to curries and fries.
Why remove the head but keep the shell?
Heads spoil fastest, so removing them at the farm keeps the prawn fresher and cleaner to handle. The shell holds in flavour and protects the meat while cooking — ideal for Andhra-style curries and fries.
How much do I get from 1 kg of whole prawns?
About 700 g headless shell-on from 1 kg of whole prawns — the head is roughly a third of a whole prawn, which is exactly why headless is our base cut.
