🦐 Unpack the Catch | Frozen Domestic Shrimp

In this episode, Adam breaks down the differences between some of our favorite frozen domestic shrimp options:
• Texas/Gulf Brown Shrimp
• Florida Pink Shrimp
• White Shrimp

From flavor profiles to cooking applications, Adam covers what makes each shrimp unique, including which varieties are best suited for a classic steam pot and which are better suited for other preparations.

Frozen doesn’t mean compromising on quality. In fact, frozen shrimp offers chefs consistent availability, reliable sizing, excellent quality, and less waste, making it a smart addition to any menu.

🎥 Tune in to learn which domestic shrimp option is right for your next dish.
