Tiger Prawns

Tiger prawns are one of the largest species of shrimp, named after the distinctive striped pattern on their bodies. They originate mainly from the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia, with a large proportion coming from aquaculture farms. Their meat is firm, juicy and full of flavour, with a mildly sweet taste. Thanks to their size, they are ideal for grilling, pan-frying or skewering. They work beautifully in Asian dishes such as curries and noodles, as well as Mediterranean recipes with garlic and herb marinades. They are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and minerals such as selenium and zinc.
