Key West Pink Shrimp are a favorite among seafood lovers who crave these wild-caught delights year-round. Most known for their mild, sweet flavor, Key West Pink Shrimp can be used as scampi, in peel and eat cocktails, or incorporated into any recipe.
The shrimp’s distinct pink hue and sweet taste are derived from the clean coral sand of the west coast of Florida where it lives. This variety of crustacean is also distinguished by the characteristic red dot that appears on its shell. While most abundant during winter months, Key West Pink Shrimp are caught fresh throughout the year.
