Description

About Black Tiger Shrimp:
Few names sound as exciting as "black tiger," especially for a shrimp. The so-called Black Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) gets its name from its dark color and tiger-like stripes. This shrimp is native to subtropical waters and is widely farmed in countries like Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam.

Flavor & Quality:
This shrimp is beloved for its rich, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture. They also stand out for their large size and consistent quality. It's no wonder, then, that this is a gourmet shrimp used in numerous cuisines.

Preparation:
Besides poaching, searing, or eating raw, these shrimp are also delicious grilled. Brush them with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or marinate them lightly for a richer flavor. This is ideal for highlighting the size and flavor of these shrimp.

Quality Marks & Sustainability:
At Golden Ocean, you choose top-quality frozen Black Tiger shrimp, ASC-certified upon request. You can recognize their quality by their shiny, firm shells without discoloration.

Thawing tip:
For best results, let them thaw slowly in a covered container in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours.
