The giant tiger prawn is distinguished by its large size and robust body, with a light-coloured shell marked by dark transverse stripes reminiscent of a tiger pattern. It features a muscular tail and a well-developed head, giving it an imposing yet elegant appearance.
Its meat is firm, white and succulent, with a naturally sweet flavour and a delicate marine aroma. It retains excellent texture after cooking, making it ideal for grilling, sautéing, frying or use in skewers and refined gourmet dishes. Highly valued for its juiciness and strong visual appeal, the giant tiger prawn is a standout ingredient in high-quality culinary presentations.
