Black tiger shrimp is available year-round and is one of Asia’s major aquaculture products.
Large tiger shrimp tails are excellent in classic shrimp cocktails or grilled on skewers. They’re good with pasta, since they can withstand tossing with other ingredients.
Black tigers cook more quickly than the other Penaeids. Watch them closely; they toughen if overcooked. For maximum quality, eat tiger shrimp within two days of thawing, though they will last three to four days properly refrigerated.
