Giant White tiger prawn
₨ 4,450
The Giant White Tiger Prawn is the pinnacle of luxury seafood, renowned for its massive size and elegant, translucent pearly-white shell. While similar in stature to the Black Tiger, the White Tiger variety is celebrated for having a more delicate, sweet flavor and a slightly softer, more refined texture. These are the "jumbo of jumbos," making them the ultimate choice for high-end dining, centerpiece platters, and gourmet grilling where size and visual appeal are paramount.
- Minimum Order: 1kg
- Average Size: Approximately 7-8 Whole Giant Prawns in a kg, depending on fresh catch availability on order delivery day.
- Freshness: Wild-caught daily from deep coastal waters and handled with elite professional care.
- Texture: Succulent, meaty, and tender with a sophisticated sweet finish.
Due to their extraordinary size, Giant White Tiger Prawns require professional handling to ensure they cook evenly. We provide "A-to-Z" cleaning services tailored for premium culinary presentations:
1. Whole (Head-on, Shell-on)
Provided in their full, natural state.
- Best For: Luxury BBQ, grand seafood towers, or Mediterranean-style whole roasting.
- Benefit: The massive head contains rich, flavorful juices that baste the meat during cooking, providing an unmatched depth of flavor and a spectacular plate presentation.
2. Headless (Shell-on)
The head is removed, but the thick, protective shell remains intact.
- Best For: Butter-poaching, pan-searing, or high-end "peel-and-eat" experiences.
- Benefit: Protects the delicate white meat from direct high heat, ensuring every bite remains incredibly moist and tender.
3. Easy-Peel (Deveined, Shell-on)
The head is removed, and a precision cut is made along the back to remove the vein while keeping the shell attached.
- Best For: Fast-action grilling or sautéing where you want the shell’s charred aroma but need quick table service.
- Benefit: Allows seasonings to penetrate deep into the meat while keeping the shell on for flavor and moisture retention.
4. Peeled & Deveined (PD)
The head and shell are completely removed, and the prawn is meticulously cleaned and deveined.
- Best For: Gourmet stir-fries, luxury white-sauce pastas, and premium seafood curries.
- Benefit: Offers a 100% waste-free, ready-to-cook experience. This is the gold standard for high-end convenience in professional kitchens.
5. Tail-on (Butterfly Cut)
The prawn is peeled and cleaned, leaving the tail intact. It is then split open to create a broad, beautiful silhouette.
- Best For: Giant Prawn Tempura, "Butterfly" garlic prawns, or high-end restaurant plating.
- Benefit: Creates a massive surface area for marinades and sauces, while the tail provides a natural, elegant handle for a professional dining experience.
