Fresh Tiger Shrimps Medium are highly sought-after crustaceans known for their striped shells and rich flavor. Known in Arabic as جمبري تايجر متوسط, they belong to the Penaeidae family with the scientific name Penaeus monodon. These shrimp thrive in warm marine and brackish waters, commonly sourced from FAO fishing areas 51 and 57 through controlled aquaculture farming.
Tiger shrimp have a mildly sweet flavor with a firm, meaty texture that holds well during cooking. Their shells display distinct dark stripes, while freshness is indicated by a clean smell and firm flesh. Popular in UAE cuisine, they are widely used in grilled platters, biryani, seafood Machboos, and Sayadieh. Their standout advantage is their size, flavor, and versatility in cooking.
