Tiger shrimp get their name from the stripes on their shells. Their size makes them perfect for grilling, stuffing, or serving as a show-stopping shrimp cocktail.

How to Cook Jumbo Shrimp

• Grill: butterfly the shrimp, brush with garlic butter and grill 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Broil: lay on a sheet pan, season, and broil 4 to 6 minutes, turning once.
• Stuffed shrimp: butterfly, top with a crab or bread crumb stuffing and bake until the shrimp are opaque.
• Because they are thick, check the center - jumbo shrimp are done when fully opaque.

With 6 to 8 per pound, plan on 3 to 4 jumbo shrimp per person for a main course, or 1 to 2 each as an appetizer.
