Description

Large Shrimp, 21-25, Tail-On, Peeled and Deveined (2 pounds)

Shrimp is a popular seafood that is enjoyed by people all over the world. Large shrimp refers to a size classification of shrimp where there are between 21 to 25 shrimp per pound. These large shrimp are considered large and are commonly used for a variety of recipes that call for shrimp, such as pasta dishes, stir-fries, or seafood boils.

Tail-on means that the shrimp has its tail intact, while peeled and deveined means that the shell and the digestive tract have been removed. This makes the shrimp easier to eat and saves time during the preparation process.

Shrimp is a popular seafood that is low in fat, high in protein, and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and minerals such as selenium and zinc. When purchasing shrimp, it is important to look for shrimp that are fresh and have a firm texture, with no discoloration or off-odors. Additionally, sustainably sourced shrimp is becoming more widely available and is a better choice for the environment.

One of the main advantages of farming shrimp is that it allows for a more controlled and sustainable source of seafood. By controlling the conditions in which the shrimp are raised, farmers can ensure that the shrimp are not exposed to harmful pollutants or overfished from wild populations. Additionally, farmed shrimp can be raised in areas where wild shrimp populations may be scarce or inaccessible, providing a more consistent source of seafood.
