Flavor Profile
Our premier Wild Mexican Shrimp are characterized by their balanced shrimp flavor and firm texture. Upon cooking, Mexican shrimp retains its crisp texture and remains uniform in size. Enjoy their refined, sweet shrimp flavor that isn’t too fishy or bland. We highly recommend these shrimp when you plan on eating shrimp with little seasoning (naked) or cold.
Shrimp Sizing
The numbers attached to the shrimp description are called the “count,” which represents the number of individual shrimp that make up one pound. For instance, “16-20” means there are between 16 and 20 shrimp in one pound. Most of our shrimp comes in two pound bags, so there would be 36 to 40 shrimp in a two pound bag.
If a single number is accompanied by a U, there are “under” that many shrimp in one pound. I.e. U15 shrimp have under 15 shrimp per pound. They can also be listed as a 13-15 count.
Finally, as the numbers decrease, the size of the shrimp increase. Our 350-500 shrimp are tiny salad shrimp and the 2-4 shrimp are our jumbos. Large shrimp are often referred to as Prawns.
