Shrimp Boxx Small (3lbs Royal Red Shrimp)

Description

Royal Red Shrimp from www.shrimpboxx.com are deep-water shrimp currently being landed in Alabama. These rose-colored shrimp are about the same size as the more familiar Brown Shrimp and attain a maximum length from 180mm (males) to 225mm (females).

Royal Reds from www.shrimpboxx.com are caught in the Gulf waters ranging in depth from 1,200 feet to 1,800 feet. Shrimping at such extreme depths requires the use of larger boats and heavier gear than does traditional shrimp trawling. Shipboard handling requirements also differ. Royal Red Shrimp do not tolerate iced storage very well. To maintain optimum quality, they are individually quick frozen (IQF) with heads-on in refrigerated brine immediately after they are landed aboard the boat. The IQF heads-on Royal Reds are then packed in 40lb to 60lb poly-lined cardboard cartons, and stored in shipboard freezers. They are maintained frozen throughout subsequent land-based storage and distribution.

The deep-water Royal Red Shrimp from www.shrimpboxx.com can be used in any shrimp recipe. They are excellent boiled, fried, broiled, sauteed, or grilled. Their rich, lobster-like flavor lends a unique touch to any seafood dish. www.shrimpboxx.com recommends the following two cooking tips will help you to achieve the best possible results when using Royal Red Shrimp:
