　　Also known as "large prawns," they are one of the eight delicacies of the sea. These prawns have high medicinal value and can help treat conditions such as neurasthenia, muscle spasms, and skin diseases like scabies. For the pan-seared large prawns, to preserve their natural oceanic flavor, the chef only lightly salted them for about ten minutes without adding any other ingredients. When eating, you can adjust to your taste with a dash of wasabi or soy sauce. In fact, large prawns can also be prepared in other delicious ways such as baked in tomato sauce or grilled over charcoal, both of which are equally tender and flavorful. The key to pan-searing lies in timing—it is best when the shell is crispy and the meat is smooth and tender. Overcooking will cause the prawn meat to become dry.

　　Because they are so fresh, they have an exceptionally springy texture. With each bite, the flesh is juicy and fresh, while the outer layer is delightfully crisp, offering a wonderful taste that fully retains the prawn’s natural flavor. Take another bite and a wave of the ocean greets you, bringing a deep sense of satisfaction. That’s why they are widely regarded as the food that best captures the “essence of the sea.” As a result, many choose to skip utensils altogether, peeling and eating the prawns by hand, savoring every bit until nothing is left.

　　It turns out that great seafood brings with it the whispers and essence of the sea—fresh, moist, and unpolluted—stirring a sense of purity deep in your heart. Amidst these endlessly delightful and unparalleled flavors, let your mind wander to dreams of your next seaside holiday.
