Wild Heads-On Louisiana Shrimp,United States price supplier

Those of you who read the Rosengarten Report or watch David Rosengarten on the Food Network or NBC's Today Show, have heard about these shrimp. He talks about them all the time. They won the Gold Medal for the best shrimp in America.

The shrimpers who catch and ship these beauties for us go out at night in small skiffs carrying lanterns to attract the shrimp. Working the nooks and crannies of the Louisiana coast where the big shrimp boats fear to tread, they throw cast nets by hand. Sometimes they only catch 6 shrimp per throw. But, oh my, are these shrimp nice.

They hit ice immediately that night and aren't processed or soaked in any way. They're sold heads-on, just the way they come out of the sea. They average about 12 to the pound, but they're not size graded so sometimes you get some monsters. They'll hit your kitchen less than 36 hours out of the water.

Cook 'em with their heads-on, just like the Louisiana shrimpers, end enjoy the sweet flavor and Crisp texture that is the hallmark of Fresh shrimp.
