tiger prawns
Large striped crustaceans
Tiger prawns are large shrimp with distinctive dark stripes on their shells, prized in cooking for their firm texture and mild, sweet flavor.
Native to Asian and Australian waters, they're commonly grilled, stir-fried, or used in curries: We ordered tiger prawns in garlic butter.
The name comes from their striped pattern resembling tiger markings.
