Tiger Prawns possess a mildly sweet flavour and a firm, succulent texture that sets them apart from other shrimp varieties. Their meat is slightly buttery and tender, making them a delightful and satisfying choice for a wide range of dishes.

  • Grilled Tiger Prawns: Marinated with herbs and spices, the prawns are grilled to enhance their natural flavours and add a smoky dimension.
  • Tiger Prawn Curry: Simmered in a rich and aromatic curry sauce, the prawns absorb the flavours while retaining their firm texture.
  • Garlic Butter Tiger Prawns: Sautéed in garlic and butter, this dish highlights the prawns' natural sweetness and succulence.
  • Tiger Prawn Stir-fry: Quickly cooked with a variety of vegetables and sauces, tiger prawns contribute a satisfying and flavoursome element to the dish.

  • High-quality protein: Tiger prawns are an excellent source of lean protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, while being low in calories and fat.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: While not as rich in omega-3s as some other seafood, tiger prawns still provide a source of these essential fatty acids that support heart and brain health.
  • Vitamins and minerals: Tiger Prawns contain essential nutrients such as selenium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and iodine, which contribute to overall health and well-being.
