What is a tiger prawn?

The tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon), udang harimau in Malay, is named for the dark stripes on its shell. It is one of the largest prawns on the local market and its meat stays firm under high heat, which is why grills and restaurants ask for it.

Tiger prawn or white shrimp: which to buy

Tiger prawns grow larger, with dark stripes and a firmer bite, which suits grilling and dishes where the prawn is the centrepiece. White shrimp (vannamei) is milder and cooks faster, so it works better in curries and stir-fries. A side-by-side comparison in Malay: beza udang harimau dan udang putih. If white shrimp suits you better, see our fresh white shrimp page.

How to tell a fresh tiger prawn

• The shell is glossy and firm, not slimy.
• The head is attached firmly and has not turned black.
• It smells clean, like the sea, with no ammonia smell.
