Shrimp is a touchy subject because we can get into all kinds of discussion about sustainability - of the lack there of - wild vs farmed, etc, and I am very sensitive to this topic. I go to a local fish monger, and the shrimp you see in these photos were wild caught from Texas. The United States requires sea turtle-excluder devices for shrimping in US waters. As far as variety of shrimp goes - i.e. pink, white, brown, and red - that doesn't matter so much as long as they are BIG.
