Prawns — Langostinos at Taperia La Mina
Our Prawns (Langostinos) celebrate the beauty of simplicity. Fresh, high-quality prawns are cooked to perfection — just until they turn pink and their flesh becomes sweet, firm, and succulent. Served with nothing more than a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of sea salt, this dish lets the natural flavor of the prawns shine. At Taperia La Mina, we believe that when you have the finest ingredients, less is more.
Quality Is Everything
The secret to exceptional prawns is sourcing and timing. At Taperia La Mina, we use only the freshest prawns available. They are cooked briefly — just long enough to turn them pink and firm without overcooking, which would make them rubbery. The result is prawns that are sweet, juicy, and bursting with clean, ocean flavor.
A Versatile Tapa
Our prawns are incredibly versatile. They make a wonderful starter on their own, served simply with lemon and salt. They also pair beautifully with our Garlic Prawns for a mixed seafood platter, or alongside our Seafood Salad for a lighter meal. For drinks, a glass of chilled Albariño or a cold beer is the perfect companion.
How to Enjoy
Peel, squeeze, and eat — that is all there is to it. The ritual of peeling each prawn, squeezing fresh lemon over the sweet flesh, and savoring the clean taste of the sea is one of life’s simple pleasures. Experience the taste of the Mediterranean at Taperia La Mina in Benidorm.
