Shrimp Black Tiger

THE BLACK TIGER SHRIMP IS FOUND OFF THE COASTS OF ASIA. IT IS SOMETIMES TREATED WITH SULFITES TO PREVENT MELANOSIS. THE TIGER SHRIMP IS SO NAMED DUE TO THE STRIPED SHELL. IT IS AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND AND IS SOFTER AND NOT AS FLAVORFUL AS OCEAN GULF SHRIMP. ONCE COOKED THE SHELLS WILL TURN BRIGHT RED.
