Those who’ve had fresh wild caught gulf shrimp know there is nothing better. Royal Reds are a tastier species compared to the pink, white, and brown varieties.
The Red’s higher fat content make them sweeter and more tender than coastal shrimp.
They don’t need a pairing with cocktail sauce or anything for that matter.Royal Red Shrimp (pleoticus robustus) native to the Gulf Coast, the Keys, and Connecticut.I was driving down the 193 toward the Dauphin Island ferry in Southern Alabama when I got a lucky call.They never see the light of day in their 1200 to half mile deep habitats, and as a result are flash frozen on the boat.If they weren’t, they’d go bad before the boats reached shore.
