Description:

Our Black Tiger Prawns, with head-on and shell-on, are known for their firm texture and natural sweetness, making them a versatile choice for various cooking methods. These large prawns retain their flavor well, especially when grilled, roasted, or pan-fried.

Cooking Methods:

  • Grilling: Brush with olive oil, garlic, and herbs. Grill over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque.

  • Broiling: Broil under high heat for 2-4 minutes per side, basting with garlic butter if preferred.

Preparation Tips:

  • Simple Seasoning: Olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper are all you need for a balanced flavor.
  • Marinade Option: Enhance flavor with a marinade of olive oil, lemon, garlic, and chili for 30 minutes before cooking.

Flavor Pairings:

  • Citrus: Lemon or lime provides a bright contrast.
  • Herbs: Pairs well with parsley, cilantro, or thyme.
  • Spices: Paprika, cayenne, and garlic add depth without overpowering.
  • Sauces: Try with garlic butter, cocktail sauce, or chimichurri for a simple finish.
