Black Tiger Shrimp

Gamba body-peeled

Besides shrimp that are easy to peel, or already fully peeled, we also offer body-peel prawns. With this variety, we've already removed the shell, while the head and tail remain. This makes them easier to prepare and eat, without sacrificing their luxurious appearance.

Description

About Scampi Easy Peel:
For our body-peeled prawns, we use the Black Tiger shrimp ( Penaeus monodon ), which gets its name from its black color and distinct stripes. This shrimp is native to subtropical waters and is widely farmed in countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam.

Flavor & Quality:
This shrimp is beloved for its rich, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture. Moreover, these shrimp are notable for their large size and consistent quality. It's therefore no wonder they're a popular choice for gourmets, who use them in a variety of cuisines.

Preparation:
Use these body-peeled shrimp in your favorite Asian dish! Heat a wok over high heat and add soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Then add noodles and vegetables of your choice for a delicious meal.

Quality Marks & Sustainability:
Quality-marked shrimp are available upon request. At Golden Ocean, we offer frozen Black Tiger shrimp with the ASC quality mark.

Thawing tip:
Thaw the shrimp slowly in a covered bowl or bag in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours for optimal flavor. Note: Do not use hot water or a microwave.
