Grading<\/span> Grading can vary by supplier and region. An example of a grading system for all prawns is presented below.<\/p>\n

Terminology such as U-10 or U\/10 is pronounced under ten and refers to the number of prawns per pound (in this case, fewer than ten prawns per pound). 10 20 is pronounced ten twenty and means that there are from 10 to 20 prawns per pound. Some Australian companies are now packing prawns per kilogram rather than per pound.<\/p>\n

Endeavour prawns are very versatile. Their mild-to-strong tasty sweetness is distinct, and adaptable to a range of creative taste combinations stronger flavoured ingredients can be used than with other prawn species.<\/p>\n

Their modest size makes them particularly good for use in brochette form, especially as a smaller, bite-size portion for finger food with a citrus, chilli or soy dipping sauce. Endeavour prawns will also present well if shelled, and served inside a seeded avocado with a light vinaigrette, or in a tempura batter with chilli jam atop a bed of cubed mango.<\/p>\n

Endeavour prawns are popular in salads and seafood platters.<\/p>\n

Flavour <\/strong> Medium to Strong<\/p>\n

Oiliness <\/strong> Low to Medium<\/p>\n

Moisture<\/strong> Moist<\/p>\n

Texture<\/strong> Firm<\/p>\n

Flesh Colour <\/strong> Translucent when raw, and white with pinkish bands when cooked<\/p>\n

Price<\/strong> Endeavour prawns are medium-priced prawns.<\/p>\n

Edibility <\/strong> Flesh and roe<\/p>\n

Suggested Wines<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of their sweet, tasty character, Endeavour prawns may be accompanied by a medium- to full-bodied white varietal such as verdelho or chenin blanc.<\/p>\n

For the tempura cooking suggestion, a fruitier white style such as a traminer blend will complement the spicy flavours of the dish.<\/p>\n

A sparkling red wine will complement the strong, spicy flavours of the Endeavour prawn and sweet potato flat cakes recipe suggested by Jock Mitchell from the Pente Caf\u00c8 Restaurant in Darwin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
