These extra-jumbo farmed Black Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) are sold by the pound and sized at U-6, meaning fewer than 6 shrimp per pound — making them among the largest shrimp available. The EZ Peel preparation keeps the shell on but scores it for easy removal, while the shrimp are deveined and ready to cook.

Black Tiger Shrimp are prized for their mild, firm, and slightly sweet flavor with a satisfying meaty texture. They are farm-raised in pond environments, typically sourced from Southeast Asia including Indonesia and Vietnam. The shrimp are individually quick frozen (IQF) to preserve freshness and quality.

Versatile in the kitchen, these shrimp can be grilled, sautéed, fried, boiled, or baked. Their impressive size makes them ideal as a centerpiece for shrimp cocktail, barbecue, pasta dishes, or seafood platters.
