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) owes its name to its dark color and tiger-like stripes. This shrimp is found in subtropical waters and is widely farmed in countries such as Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam.
Taste & Quality
This shrimp is loved for its rich, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture. Moreover, they stand out for their large size and consistent quality. It is therefore not surprising that this is a gourmet shrimp used in countless kitchens.
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.
