Argentinian Red Shrimp from the cold waters of the South Atlantic have a rich flavor and a firm lobster-like texture. Can be used and prepared in a great variety of ways -- a delicious upgrade for any shrimp recipe.
There are literally thousands of species of shrimp worldwide, adapted to a wide range of habitats, though only about 20 are commercially fished. Shrimp are high in protein, low in calories, improve the LDL to HDL cholesterol ratio and lower triglycerides. They lend themselves to recipes in all types of cuisines, delicious in everything from pastas and risottos, fajitas and tacos, jambalayas and paellas, curries, kung pao noodles, Pad thais and ramens, soups and gumbos, in bowls, salads, and as ceviche.
