Premium Wild Caught Gulf of Mexico Shrimp – Authentic 16/20 and 31/35 Sizes
Stop settling for bland, farm-raised imports. Our wild caught Gulf shrimp are prized by chefs and seafood lovers alike for their firm texture and naturally sweet, briny flavor. Because they grow in the nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico, they develop a superior taste profile that makes them the star of any meal. When you buy our wild caught Gulf of Mexico shrimp, you are choosing a product that is harvested from the wild, ensuring a clean taste that farm-raised alternatives simply cannot match.
Why Chefs Choose Our Wild Caught Gulf of Mexico Shrimp
The difference is in the water. Most supermarket shrimp are raised in crowded ponds, but our wild caught Gulf of Mexico shrimp thrive in the open ocean. This results in a “snappy” texture and a deep, oceanic sweetness. Whether you are planning a traditional backyard boil or a sophisticated dinner party, our wild caught Gulf shrimp provide the quality and consistency you need.
Choose Your Size:
We offer two distinct sizes of wild caught Gulf shrimp to fit your specific culinary needs:
Extra Large (16/20 Count): These are meaty and substantial. With only 16 to 20 shrimp per pound, they are the perfect size for the grill, butter-poaching, or creating a high-end shrimp cocktail platter.
Large (31/35 Count): A versatile kitchen staple. These are the best choice for hearty pasta dishes, quick stir-frys, or making classic old bay steamed shrimp.
Preparation & Cooking Tips
Because we ship our wild caught Gulf of Mexico shrimp raw and chilled, you have total control over the flavor. To ensure the best results, remember that shrimp cook very quickly—usually in just 2 to 4 minutes depending on the method.
The Maryland Steam: Toss them in a steamer basket with a 50/50 mix of water and apple cider vinegar. Sprinkle heavily with Old Bay and steam until they just turn opaque.
Grilling: Skewer your wild caught Gulf shrimp and brush with garlic butter. Grill over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side for a smoky, charred finish.
The Scampi: Sauté in olive oil with fresh garlic, white wine, and lemon juice. Serve over linguine for a restaurant-quality meal at home.

We ensure our wild caught Gulf shrimp are handled with the utmost care from the moment they leave the water. We ship them raw and chilled in our heavy-duty insulated containers with frozen gel packs. By using overnight shipping, we guarantee that your wild caught Gulf shrimp arrive in pristine condition, ready to be cooked or frozen for later use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these shrimp peeled and deveined? We typically ship these “shell-on” to preserve the moisture and flavor during the shipping and cooking process. Cooking in the shell results in a much juicier shrimp!
