These colossal farm-raised black tiger shrimp are graded U-8, meaning under 8 shrimp per pound — among the largest shrimp available. Black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) are prized for their distinctive dark gray shells with bold black stripes, firm texture, and mild, subtly sweet flavor that holds up exceptionally well to grilling, sautéing, steaming, and stir-frying.

The 4 lb bag contains individually quick-frozen shrimp, locking in freshness and making it easy to thaw only what you need. Farm-raised under controlled aquaculture conditions, these shrimp offer consistent sizing and quality batch after batch. At the U-8 count, each shrimp makes a dramatic presentation and is satisfying as a standalone centerpiece for shrimp cocktail, pasta, or surf-and-turf dishes.
