Tiger shrimp recipe

Prep Shrimp:
Pat the shrimp dry. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Sauté Aromatics:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger; stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook Shrimp:
Add the tiger shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until they just begin to turn pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Vegetable Time:
In the same skillet, add your chosen vegetables. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until they’re crisp-tender.
Combine & Sauce:
Return the shrimp to the skillet. Pour in the sauce ingredients and toss everything together. Allow the sauce to heat through and coat the shrimp and vegetables, about 2 minutes.
Finish & Serve:
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions, and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.

Where to buy Tiger shrimp

We Provides Black Tiger Shrimp (16/20 per kg) headless, with shipping options to USA and Canada. When purchasing shrimp, consider whether you prefer fresh or frozen options. Frozen shrimp can be a convenient choice, as they are often flash-frozen shortly after harvest to preserve quality. If opting for fresh shrimp, ensure they have a clean, ocean-like scent and a firm texture.
