This is only my opinion which could be wrong or right. I have eaten and prepared tiger shrimp and find them lacking in taste compared to Gulf shrimp. I never served tiger shrimp in my restaurants. Only 16-20, U-10 or U-8s from the Gulf.
Now there's a Girl who knows her Shrimp!!!!
When I lived in Pensacola, I'd go down to the docks early on Saturday morning and buy them right off the boats, take them home and have them for Breakfast!
