Costco's U-12 Farmed Black Tiger Shrimp comes in a generous 5-pound bag, featuring large, premium-grade shrimp with a count of under 12 per pound — making these among the largest shrimp sizes available. Black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) are prized for their bold, sweet flavor and firm, meaty texture that holds up well to grilling, sautéing, stir-frying, and steaming.

Farm-raised using aquaculture practices, these shrimp are individually quick frozen (IQF) at peak freshness to preserve quality. They are typically tail-on and easy peel, with deveining done for convenience. The large size and versatile flavor profile make them well-suited for shrimp cocktail, pasta dishes, stir-fries, curries, and grilled skewers.
