Frozen black tiger shrimp are prized for their large size, firm texture, naturally sweet flavour, and distinctive dark-striped shells. Imported from Thailand, these headless, shell-on shrimp are available in 16/20 and 21/25 size grades, making them an excellent choice for restaurants, seafood retailers, and commercial kitchens. Their shells help retain moisture and flavour during cooking, making them particularly suitable for grilling, steaming, boiling, and stir-frying. Popular culinary applications include Chinese garlic shrimp, Thai grilled prawns, Vietnamese salt-and-pepper shrimp, Japanese teppanyaki, seafood boils, and Mediterranean-style grilled prawns. Their attractive presentation and substantial size make them ideal for seafood platters, buffets, and premium restaurant entrees.
