Wild caught Madagascar jumbo head-on shrimp (black tiger prawns) are 3 to a pound! They come from African waters around the island.

They’re prized for their firm, lobster-like texture and sweet, nutty flavor. Because they retain the head and shell, they are ideal for high-heat cooking like grilling or pan-searing, which locks in their rich "head butter" juices.

Distinctly sweet and rich compared to standard shrimp, the texture is firm, snappy, and meaty, making them excellent for a main course.

Grill: Because of their size, grilling them whole preserves their moisture. Brush them with olive oil, garlic, lemon, and herbs, and cook over high heat for about 2–3 minutes per side.

Pan-Sear/Bake: You can butterfly the prawns (cutting along the back), brush them with melted butter, and stuff them with a crab cake mixture before baking for 10–12 mins.

Available this Friday and Saturday in Bethel!
