The most delicate of our native shrimp species, with the softest texture and sweetest flavor.
Will cook twice as quickly as other shrimp.
Royal Red Shrimp are absolutely packed with a rich, natural flavor. They’ve been compared to lobster, bay scallops, or Blue Crab, and because they’re larger in size than other Alabama shrimp, they’re a true Alabama Gulf Seafood feast.
“Royal Reds are such a delicacy,” said Chris Blankenship, director of Alabama Marine Resources and program administrator of the Alabama Seafood Marketing Commission (ASMC). “The taste is second to none, which makes them a must-have when you find them on the menu or at a retailer. A plate of steamed Royal Reds does not last long when I find them on a menu!”
