Description

Duaba Afro Foods Whole Smoked Ghana Prawns – 200g | Premium Whole Smoked Prawns | Rich Smoky Seafood Flavour | For Soups, Stews & Sauces

Ghana’s finest smoked prawns — whole, deeply smoky, and bursting with oceanic flavour 🇬🇧

In West African cooking, smoked prawns are not a garnish. They are not an afterthought. They are a fundamental flavour building block — the ingredient that adds a penetrating, intensely savoury, smokily sweet seafood depth to soups, stews, and sauces that nothing else can replicate.

The difference between a Ghanaian soup made with fresh prawns and one made with smoked prawns is not just flavour — it is character. Smoked prawns carry a concentrated, deep, complex flavour developed through the smoking process that fresh prawns simply cannot deliver in the pot. They infuse the entire dish — every ladle of soup, every spoonful of stew — with that unmistakeable West African smoky seafood richness that makes you close your eyes and think of home.

Duaba Afro Foods Whole Smoked Ghana Prawns brings you 200g of premium whole smoked prawns — carefully selected from Ghana’s finest seafood, traditionally smoked, and delivered directly to your UK door under the Duaba Afro Foods brand. Authentic African ingredients, delivered to you.

The Prawn

🦐 Whole Smoked Ghana Prawns (Penaeus spp.) — whole prawns, sourced from Ghana’s Atlantic coastal waters and traditionally smoked to concentrate their natural flavour and extend shelf life. The smoking process creates an extraordinary depth of flavour — the natural sweetness of fresh prawn is transformed by heat and smoke into something altogether more complex, more intense, and more deeply satisfying. Every whole prawn carries the full flavour of the shell, head, and meat — delivering maximum taste impact in every dish.

How to Prepare

1. Rinse the Duaba Afro Foods Smoked Prawns briefly under warm water
2. Soak in warm water for 10–15 minutes to rehydrate and soften slightly
3. Drain and add whole to your soup or stew — or peel and devein if preferred for a cleaner presentation
4. Add early in the cooking process to allow maximum flavour infusion into the dish
5. The whole prawns will continue to release flavour throughout the cooking time

Tip: For the most flavourful result, use whole — the shells and heads release extraordinary flavour into the cooking liquid. If you prefer to peel, keep the shells and simmer them separately in water to create a smoked prawn stock that can be added to the dish for extra depth.
