Premium U-4 black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), farm raised and previously frozen. The U-4 size designation indicates under 4 shrimp per pound, making these extremely large specimens weighing approximately 4-6 ounces each. These are among the largest black tiger shrimp sold commercially, often described as the "Tomahawk steak of the sea."

Black tiger shrimp feature a mild, sweet flavor with a distinctively firm, meaty texture that holds up well to various cooking methods including grilling, sautéing, and roasting. Farm raised in sustainable aquaculture operations in Southeast Asia, these shrimp are individually quick frozen to preserve freshness and quality. The sold-by-weight format allows you to purchase the exact quantity needed for your meal.

For best results, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before cooking. These jumbo shrimp are ideal for impressive presentations, shrimp cocktails, BBQ preparations, or any recipe where you want substantial, restaurant-quality seafood.
