tiger prawn
Large striped crustacean
A tiger prawn is a large shrimp with distinctive dark stripes across its shell, native to Asian and Australian waters.
Prized in cooking for their size and firm texture, they're often grilled, stir-fried, or used in curries: We ordered the tiger prawns in garlic butter.
Also called tiger shrimp, especially in American English.
