Description
Authentic Maryland Style Steamed Gulf of Mexico Shrimp
Why wait for the water to boil? We’ve done the hard work for you. Our steamed Gulf of Mexico shrimp bring together the best of both worlds: the superior sweetness of wild-caught American shrimp and the iconic spice of the Chesapeake. When you order our steamed Gulf of Mexico shrimp, you are getting restaurant-quality seafood delivered straight to your door.
Expertly Steamed & Seasoned
Unlike grocery store shrimp that are often bland and rubbery, our shrimp are steamed fresh in our kitchen. We use a precise steaming time to ensure a snappy, firm texture, then toss them in Old Bay seasoning while they are still hot so the flavor soaks into the shell.
Choose Your Preferred Size:
16/20 Extra Large: Our most popular size! These jumbo-sized steamed Gulf of Mexico shrimp are perfect for a main course or a fancy shrimp cocktail platter. You get roughly 16 to 20 shrimp per pound.
31/35 Large: The traditional “Peel & Eat” size. These are perfect for snacking, tossing into a cold shrimp salad, or serving by the pound at a family gathering.
Why Wild-Caught Gulf Shrimp?
We exclusively source wild-caught shrimp because the flavor is incomparable to farm-raised alternatives. The natural diet of shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico produces a sweet, clean taste and a firm texture. By choosing our steamed Gulf of Mexico shrimp, you are supporting sustainable American fisheries and enjoying a product free from the antibiotics often found in imported seafood.
Serving Your Steamed Shrimp
When your order arrives, simply keep them refrigerated until you are ready to eat. For the most authentic Maryland experience, we recommend:
Cold Peel & Eat: Serve them chilled with a side of cocktail sauce and a fresh lemon wedge.
Warm It Up: If you prefer them warm, give them a quick 2-minute steam (just to take the chill off). Do not microwave, as this will make the delicate meat rubbery.
The Maryland Feast: Pair your shrimp with our Maryland steamed crabs or our handmade crab cakes for the ultimate seafood spread.
Prefer to cook them yourself have them shipped raw!
