Description
Wholey Wild Gulf Shrimp are hands down most popular seafood in the United States. Boiled, fried, or stuffed, shrimp are delicious! They are high in protein and have many essential vitamins and minerals. Wholey Gulf Shrimp are preferred by many Chefs, they have a sweet flavor, with a firm, slightly “crunchy texture”. Although called White Gulf Shrimp their shells will be a greenish-gray or blue gray in the raw, but will turn pink when cooked. Perhaps the most readily available of all domestic shrimp, Gulf shrimp bring an earthier flavor than their Atlantic cousins. The taste of the shrimp can be attributed to the naturally warmer waters of the Gulf of Mexico and tides that only rise between two and three feet. All Wholey Gulf Shrimp are harvested from the wild with trawl nets.
