This well-known shrimp is farmed in seawater in Southeast Asia in an extensive or semi-intensive manner. The shellfish is recognizable by the dark color with blue/grey stripes on the tail. When fried or boiled, the prawn turns orange-pink. The meat is firm and crunchy in texture. For these headless shrimps, the back is incised so that they are easy to peel after preparation. These shrimps are weighed 'real count' and come in 13 - 15 pieces per English pound (454 grams).
