Black Tiger Shrimp 13/15 Head Less

Premium Black Tiger Shrimp – 13/15 Count (1kg Pack) – Headless

The 13/15 Black Tiger Shrimp is a "Super Jumbo" grade choice for seafood connoisseurs. By removing the head while keeping the shell intact, you get the best of both worlds: the convenience of easy cleaning and the protection of the shell, which locks in moisture and flavor during high-heat cooking. With only 13 to 15 pieces per pound (approx. 28–33 pieces per kg), these shrimps are exceptionally large, meaty, and impressive.

Top Culinary Uses

Pro Tip: To create "Butterfly Shrimp," use a sharp knife to cut along the back of the shell and press it flat. This creates a stunning look and allows seasonings to penetrate the thick meat.

• Grilled Jumbo Shrimps: Perfect for skewers. Marinate with olive oil, smoked paprika, and lime before grilling over high heat.

• Shrimp Scampi: Sauté in a garlic, white wine, and butter sauce. The large size ensures the shrimp stays the star of the dish.

• Butterflied & Baked: Stuff with a crabmeat or breadcrumb filling and bake until the shells are bright red.

• Tempura or Panko Fried: Peel away the shell but leave the tail on for a restaurant-style crispy fried shrimp.
