Medium tiger shrimps strike the sweet spot between size and texture: big enough to feel substantial on the plate, yet quick to cook without losing tenderness. These prawns are chosen for firm shells, even sizing and a naturally sweet flavour that lifts simple weeknight recipes as well as upscale menus. Sourced from trusted coastal suppliers and inspected at origin, they are especially popular in Dubai and Abu Dhabi households for grills, biryanis and family-style mezze because they marry well with local spices and quick-cook methods. Nutritionally, medium tiger shrimps deliver high-quality protein, trace minerals like iodine and selenium, and useful amounts of omega fats while remaining low in calories.

Every batch is processed under strict hygiene and temperature controls so each order keeps taste and safety from our cold-room to your kitchen.

FAQs
Are medium tiger shrimps better fresh or frozen?
Both fresh-chilled and properly frozen prawns can be excellent. Fresh-chilled offers the most immediate texture contrast and aroma when eaten soon after delivery; top-tier flash-freezing preserves texture and nutrition when chilled supply is limited. The deciding factor is how well the cold-chain was maintained — DIORfreshfish documents temperature logs and packaging to protect quality.
How do I keep the texture tender when cooking?
High heat, short cook times are key. Sear, grill or sauté quickly and remove when the flesh becomes opaque and slightly springy. For marinated dishes, acid (lemon/tamarind) should be added sparingly — prolonged acidic exposure can firm proteins excessively.
What safety checks are performed before dispatch?
Every batch is checked for off-odour, shell integrity and correct temperature. We follow food-grade sanitation, record cold-room logs and inspect supplier certificates to ensure halal compliance and traceability.
Can I order large quantities for restaurants or events?
Yes — DIORfreshfish handles bulk orders with customised packing (head-on, headless,
