Now, she is fourteen and we decided to create this web site so that we can let other people who have probably only seen shrimp in their local supermarkets, know what a shrimp really looks like, where they come from, and how you prepare and cook them.

Let me tell you, Jessica is not the only one who likes Shrimp, because they have become the most popular seafood in the United States today, and Americans consume more shrimp than any other country in the world. Shrimp fall into three basic groups: warm water shrimp, freshwater shrimp, and cold water shrimp and there are three main species of shrimp – white, pink, and brown. More then half the shrimp we purchase from our local stores come from shrimp “farms” in Asia and South America. The rest are "wild caught" by fishermen in the southeastern part of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico, or from Latin America and the Caribbean.
