Jumbo Argentine Red Shrimp

Packaging:

Our Argentine red shrimp are sealed in 1 lb packages and contain an average of 15 shrimp per pound. They are headless, uncooked, and flash-frozen at sea to ensure the highest quality.

Our Argentine red shrimp are dry packed which means they do not include STP (Sodium Tripolyphoshate). STP is a chemical that seafood is soaked in and causes the retention of added water to seafood products. This negatively impacts not only the flavor and texture, but also adds extra weight, in the form of water that , in the end, the consumer pays for.

Storing & Thawing:

Frozen, vacuum-sealed, shrimp can be stored in your freezer for several months. Shrimp can be thawed under refrigeration about 12 hours before preparation. The vacuum-sealed packages can also be ran under cold water to speed this up considerably.

Serving Suggestions:

A one pound package would be good for 2 to 3 people if serving with other entrée additions. If serving as a "shrimp feast" then about twice this amount would suffice.

Health Benefits:

Shrimp are an extremely good source of protein, and are very low in fat & calories, making them a healthy choice of food. Although shrimp have a high cholesterol content, they are low in saturated fat. Shrimp contain a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids that help prevent against heart disease, circulatory diseases and many other types of illnesses. Shrimp also contains high levels of vitamin B12, zinc, iodine, phosphorous, potassium, selenium and iron, and have smaller quantities of calcium, magnesium and sodium.
