Black Tiger shrimp

Black Tiger shrimp, scientifically known as *Penaeus monodon*, are large and ecologically important crustaceans commonly found in warm coastal waters of Asia and the Indo-Pacific region. They are recognized by their distinctive black stripes on an orange or brown shell. These shrimp are popular in global seafood markets due to their size, flavor, and versatility in cooking. They are often farmed or caught in the wild, but concerns about overfishing and farming practices, such as habitat destruction, have led to discussions about sustainable seafood options. Their rich, sweet taste makes them a favorite in various culinary dishes.
