Considered to be the "Queen of Prawns", Black Tiger Shrimp have a natural sweet flavour and moist meaty texture that when butterflied and grilled on an outdoor barbecue become a voluptuous mountain of decapodal decadence. An excellent source of protein and several important vitamins and minerals including Niacin, Iron, Phosphorus and Zinc, tiger shrimp are also low in calories and absolutely carb-free. Although high in cholesterol, these tasty morsels contain heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids which help lower blood pressure and help prevent coronary heart disease — so there's no reason not to dig in and enjoy Neptune's bounty.
