White Tiger Shrimp with Provence Herbs
What it is
These are large, peeled, and deveined white tiger shrimp. They are pre-seasoned with a blend of herbs commonly found in Provence, a region in southeastern France. The herbs typically include rosemary, thyme, savory, and marjoram. This seasoning is applied to enhance the natural flavor of the shrimp without overpowering it. The shrimp are ready to be cooked and served as part of a meal.
How people cook with it
These seasoned shrimp are a convenient way to add a touch of Mediterranean flavor to your cooking. They work well in a variety of dishes.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Appetizers for gatherings
- Pasta and rice dishes
- Salads and grain bowls
To cook, you can pan-sear them in a hot skillet with a little oil or butter for a few minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. They can also be grilled, baked, or added directly to simmering sauces or stews during the last few minutes of cooking. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become tough. The pre-applied herbs mean you don't need to add extra seasoning, though a squeeze of lemon is always a welcome addition.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain shrimp, these are infused with a distinct herbal aroma and taste from the Provence blend. This saves you the step of seasoning them yourself and provides a specific flavor profile that complements seafood beautifully. They offer a shortcut to a more complex flavor.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and quick seafood option will appreciate these shrimp.
How to keep the rest
