When planning a seafood feast, wild-caught American shrimp are a top choice for gourmet cooks. Known for their excellent taste, these shrimp also contribute to a nutritious diet.
Wild American shrimp can be enjoyed steamed, boiled, grilled, fried, or in dishes like scampi. They're also popular as appetizers in shrimp cocktails, bisques, and salads. Their ability to freeze well makes them ideal for purchasing in bulk and storing for future meals.
Nutritionally, shrimp are low in fat and calories, with no carbohydrates or trans fats. They are rich in vitamins B3, B6, B12, vitamin D, Omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals such as iron, phosphorus, zinc, and copper.
American shrimp species include white (Litopenaeus setiferus), brown (Farfantepenaeus aztecus), pink (Penaeus duorarum), royal red (Pleoticus robustus), rock (Sicyonia brevirostris), and Northern (Pandalus borealis).
Shrimp are categorized by "count," which is the number of shrimp per pound, whether whole or headless. For example, 16/20 count headless shrimp means 16 to 20 shrimp per pound. Counts can vary from large (16/20) to small (60/70), with Pacific pink shrimp being particularly small at 100 to 140 per pound.
Choosing wild American shrimp is also environmentally responsible, as many U.S. fisheries are noted for sustainable practices. The Wild American Shrimp Certification Program ensures warm-water, wild-caught shrimp from U.S. waters meet high-quality standards. Certified shrimp are specially labeled, with participation open to various industry stakeholders.
Oregon’s pink shrimp fishery is internationally recognized for sustainability, earning the first Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification for shrimp on December 6, 2007. This certification marks Oregon's pink shrimp trawl fishery as sustainable and well-managed, allowing products to carry the prestigious blue MSC eco-label.
The Marine Stewardship Council aims to improve global ocean health and promote a sustainable seafood market. The MSC encourages consumers to support sustainable fisheries by choosing certified seafood.
Pink shrimp, also known as bay or salad shrimp, are small (100-140 per pound) and are harvested using advanced trawl methods. Delivered for cooking, peeling, and freezing, they offer exceptional freshness and quality.
With their nutritional benefits, exceptional taste, and sustainability, American shrimp are an outstanding choice for seafood enthusiasts.
