About Giant tiger prawn

Giant tiger prawn is a large marine prawn, sold whole or as peeled tails, fresh, frozen, or cooked. Its shell is typically banded or striped when raw, and the flesh is pale and firm.

It is commonly grilled, fried, steamed, or added to soups and other seafood preparations. Cooking makes the flesh opaque and tender, with a mildly sweet, briny flavour; size, shell-on status, and whether it is raw or cooked affect how it is prepared and portioned.
