This Vannamei shrimp is also known as whiteleg shrimp. The animal is now widely farmed in, among others, Asia and South America. Many farmers have switched from black tiger to vannamei because they grow faster and can have more volume in a pond. The shrimp has a firm texture and a mild flavor. For these headless shrimp, the back is cut so they are easy to peel after cooking. These shrimp are packed 16 - 20 pieces in an English pound (454 grams).
