Product Description:

Species: Black Tiger Prawns (Penaeus monodon)

Appearance: These prawns are characterized by their distinctive black or dark blue stripes on the shell, which give them their name. The "Head On, Shell On" form means they are sold with both their heads and shells intact, providing maximum flavor and retaining their moisture during cooking.

Size: The "8/12 count" indicates that there are between 8 to 12 prawns per pound, making them significantly large. This size is particularly sought after for grilling, broiling, and other high-heat cooking methods, as the large size allows for even cooking without drying out.

Flavor & Texture: Black Tiger prawns are prized for their firm, succulent meat and slightly sweet taste. The shell and head contribute to a more intense flavor profile, especially when cooked with the shell on, as they help to infuse the prawn meat with additional flavor.

Preparation: These prawns are often used in a variety of dishes, from simple grilling with herbs and spices to being the star ingredient in elaborate seafood platters. Cooking them with the shell and head on can enhance the flavor of the dish, and they can be served whole or peeled after cooking, depending on the recipe.
