Jumbo Tiger Prawns, Frozen, 1kg, (4-6 prawns)

Jumbo Tiger Prawns: Exceptional Flavour and Texture!

Jumbo Tiger Prawns are a culinary delight, celebrated for their impressive size and exquisite taste. These prawns are characterised by their firm, meaty texture and a naturally sweet, succulent flavour that sets them apart from regular shrimp. When cooked, their flesh turns a beautiful opaque white with a hint of pink, offering a tender yet satisfying bite that is both juicy and flavourful. The robust taste of jumbo tiger prawns is often described as slightly briny with a hint of sweetness, making them a versatile ingredient in a wide range of dishes.

Jumbo Tiger Prawns Cooking Suggestions

• Grilling: Lightly marinate and grill over high heat until the shells turn a vibrant pink and the flesh is opaque.
• Sauteing: Cook in a hot pan with a bit of garlic and butter until just done, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• Baking: Season and bake in a preheated oven at 200¬∞C (400¬∞F) for 10-12 minutes, until the prawns are opaque.
• Boiling: Briefly boil in salted water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.
• Broiling: Broil on high for 3-4 minutes, brushing with a flavourful marinade halfway through cooking.
