Description
raw
peeled shrimp, we use the Black Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), which owes its name to its black color and distinct stripes. This shrimp is found in subtropical waters and is widely farmed in countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam.
Taste & Quality
This shrimp is loved for its rich, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture. Moreover, these shrimp stand out for their large size and consistent quality. It is therefore not surprising that this is a favorite among gourmets and is used in numerous different cuisines.
Preparation
Keep the preparation simple by boiling the shrimp in seasoned water or steaming them with lemon slices and herbs. Or add them to a delicious risotto or pasta. Do note that these scampi have a short cooking time. As soon as they turn pink and are slightly translucent, they are ready. Cooking them longer can result in a tough texture.
Certifications & Sustainability
Certified shrimp are supplied upon request. At Golden Ocean, we offer frozen Black Tiger shrimp with an ASC label.
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 to thaw the shrimp.
