Product Identity & Origin of Tiger Prawn / White Shrimp
Tiger Prawn and White Shrimp are commonly used seafood market terms, but they do not always identify one single species. Black Tiger Shrimp generally refers to Penaeus monodon, while “White Shrimp” may refer to several white-coloured shrimp species, including Litopenaeus vannamei. جمبري أبيض is a descriptive Arabic market term for white shrimp rather than a guaranteed scientific identification.
Tiger prawns are recognised by their darker striped shell, firm flesh and sweet seafood flavour, while white shrimp are generally milder with a tender, slightly firm texture. Both can be farmed or wild-caught depending on the supply chain. Exact species, origin water, production method and applicable FAO fishing area should be confirmed from the individual batch documentation for accurate traceability.

How to Cook Tiger Prawn / White Shrimp
Grilled Shrimp
Marinate cleaned shrimp with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt and black pepper. Grill at approximately 180–200°C for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on size, until completely opaque and cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges, salad and grilled vegetables.
Garlic Butter Shrimp
Melt butter in a pan and add minced garlic, black pepper and a small amount of chilli. Add the shrimp and cook over medium-high heat for approximately 4–6 minutes, turning once. Serve with rice, pasta, bread or steamed vegetables.
UAE-Style Shrimp Rice
Sauté onion, garlic, tomato and spices before adding cleaned shrimp toward the end of cooking. Cook the shrimp until opaque and firm, then combine with spiced rice. Serve as a simple seafood variation of a family-style Machboos meal.
