Quisquillas with Orange Butter

The raw quisquillas, sourced directly from Motril in Spain, are not merely a dish; they are a revelation. Each prawn, almost translucent in its freshness, arrives adorned with delicate 'wigs' of vibrant orange butter. This seemingly simple embellishment elevates the experience to the sublime. The butter, infused with citrus and a whisper of chili, melts upon the tongue, releasing a bright, zesty counterpoint to the prawn's inherent sweetness. The texture is paramount: a silken yielding of the prawn flesh against the rich unctuousness of the butter. It's a study in contrasts—raw and refined, oceanic depth and terrestrial brightness—all harmonizing to create a profound, sea-bound taste that lingers long after the last morsel is savored. The presentation, while playful, underscores the meticulous attention to detail that defines Mana's culinary philosophy. This is not just seafood; it's edible art.
