Black Tiger Prawns
Black tiger prawns (panaeus monodon) are harvested from the wild by trawlers working mud bottoms from very shallow water to depths beyond 300 feet. They can grow up to 13 inches, but harvest size averages 9 to 11 inches. Our black tiger shrimps are wild caught in the Gulf of Papua New Guinea during the catching season from April until end of October.
Tiger Prawns have a medium flavour which puts them between Endeavours (strong) and Bananas (mild) on the flavour spectrum. Black tiger shrimps tails are excellent hors dïoeuvres in shrimp cocktails or grilled.
These prawns go great with pasta or in casseroles, since they can withstand tossing with other ingredients. Their thick shells hold heat, so black tigers cook more quickly than the other shrimps. Watch them closely; they toughen if overcooked. Our wild caught black tiger prawns are an international recognized delicacy.
