Commited to Offer Americans Wholesome Shrimp
Our Chief Shrimper gives you his personal promise
Young and Mouthwatering
Sun Shrimp are about 6 months old at harvest. We harvest mostly Jumbo (U15) and Large (16/20) whole shrimp. We choose these sizes because that is when shrimp are at their optimum flavor and size. Their meat is firm and crisp when cooked, and they burst with color, aroma and flavor.
Bigger is Not Better! Many Americans believe big shrimp are better. While jumbo shrimp do look amazing, it takes shrimp a long time to grow that large. Therefore, really big shrimp are usually very old, tough and their taste can be salty and metallic. They are nowhere near as good as our young and tasty Sun Shrimp.
Superior Packaging
Sun Shrimp are fresh vacuum skin packed within hours of harvest in easy to handle 1/2 pound trays. They are deep chilled for shipment to you. Each tray serves 2 persons.
Sun Shrimp are fully protected by the packaging so they can be of optimum quality when you cook them.
When you receive your order, immediately store the packages in your freezer. When ready to cook defrost them in your refrigerator.
Frozen shrimp are perfectly OK...as long as you only do it once. Unfortunately, nearly all frozen shrimp available to Americans today have been frozen and thawed multiple times; losing moisture and flavor with each defrost cycle.
Easy, No mess, No smell and very convenient. Our packaging allows us to preserve the best quality WITHOUT having to use preservatives!
