Shrimp

Species:
Tiger, Blue and Brown Penaeus monodon
Geography:
Shrimp are now available throughout the world from Ecuador to Taiwan. Most are frozen then thawed for retail sale.
Seasonality:
Year round
Harvesting Method:
Trawled or farmed
Appearance/Flavor:
Cooked shrimp should be firm, full, and pure white inside with the characteristic red coloration on the outside of the meat. Their smell should be sweet and somewhat briny.
Buying/Handling/Storing:
Shrimp color should be even with no brownish or yellow near the edges. Avoid shrimp with black spots. If the black penetrates the shell and reaches the meat, the shrimp are probably passed their peak freshness. Also avoid shrimp that appear limp or have an ammonia odor.
Cooking Methods:
Shrimp are very versatile in the kitchen. They can be sautéed, boiled, grilled (skewered), steamed and used in seafood stews and soups.
In the Store:
At Coastal Seafoods many sizes and varieties of shrimp can be found any day of the week, but the best day to buy shrimp is on Monday, when all varieties are 20% off! In our kitchen we like to prepare shrimp by lightly flouring them and then sautéing them in olive oil with some minced garlic. Serve with rice or pasta.
