Application and ordering
Epic offers black tiger prawns (also known internationally as black tiger shrimp) in five product forms, each with its own application. Head-on prawns keep their full shape and are the choice for presentation dishes such as grilling, barbecue or a classic gamba dish where the head comes to the plate. Shell-on prawn tails are more versatile in the kitchen and lend themselves to both boiling and grilling. Easy peel prawn tails have a scored shell and are already deveined, which speeds up peeling at the table or in the kitchen and saves labour time on larger volumes. The block-frozen real count prawn tails (1.44 kg per block) are intended for high-volume use and further processing; real count indicates a count excluding glaze weight, a more precise size indication than a count on packed weight. The peeled prawns are fully peeled and ready to use straight away, for example in a pasta, wok dish or curry, with no preparation time in the kitchen. For all forms the same rule of thumb applies to the size indication: the lower the number, the larger and meatier the prawn, and the higher the number, the more and smaller pieces there are in the same pack. Prices become visible after logging in to the webshop; buyers who do not yet have access can contact Epic.
