Known for their sweet and delicate flavor, these shrimp are often sought after in culinary dishes, especially in Spanish and Italian cuisine. They are typically harvested from deep waters and are recognized for their vibrant color and firm texture. In addition to being a seafood delicacy, "Carabinero" also refers to the Carabiniers, a national gendarmerie force in Italy and Chile.
