As a general rule, fresh shrimp cooked in hot water can be cooked in 2-3 minutes for normal-sized shrimp placed in a pot of boiling water; slightly larger shrimp may take about 5 minutes. As long as the exterior of the shrimp is cooked until reddish is cooked, do not cook for too long, because the shrimp meat cooked too long will be very difficult to eat, there is no fresh flavor or chewy, eat rotten.

Black tiger shrimp generally refers to spot prawns. Spot prawns are arthropods of the decapod family Prawnidae, also known as grass shrimp, King Kong shrimp, bamboo shrimp.
