Ali Baba Frozen Shrimp with Shell – Extra Flavour & Juiciness

Unlock the deepest oceanic flavours with Ali Baba Shrimp with Shell — the choice of chefs for premium texture and taste.

Our shrimp are harvested from pristine waters and flash-frozen with the shell intact to preserve their natural sweetness and firm, succulent bite. Cooking shrimp in the shell protects the delicate meat from high heat, locking in moisture and infusing your dishes with a richer, more robust "sea-fresh" essence that peeled varieties simply can't match.

Why Choose Ali Baba Shell-On Shrimp?

• Superior Flavour: The shell acts as a natural flavour-enhancer during cooking, releasing a sweet, briny aroma into your sauces and stocks.
• Juicier Texture: Protecting the meat with its natural shell ensures it remains tender and plump, preventing it from drying out or becoming rubbery.
• Flash-Frozen Freshness: Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) at the peak of freshness to ensure they reach your kitchen with their natural quality preserved.
• Nutrient Rich: A fantastic source of lean protein, Vitamin B12, and heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids.

Culinary Inspiration

• Traditional Garlic Butter Shrimp: Sauté with heavy garlic, butter, and parsley — the shells soak up the savoury butter for a finger-licking experience.
• Gourmet Seafood Grills: Perfect for the BBQ or griddle; the shell charring adds a smoky depth to the meat.
• Authentic Seafood Broths: Use the shells to create a world-class base for Paella, Bouillabaisse, or spicy Asian noodle soups.
• Salt & Pepper Shrimp: A classic Cantonese style where the crispy, seasoned shell is the star of the dish.
