For fans of shrimp, Pier 33 Gourmet is proud to announce a new line of top-quality Wild Argentine Red Shrimp that will be caught and packaged through an exclusive joint venture with industry leader, Krustagroup. Unlike most of the shrimp consumed in the US, Argentine Red Shrimp is a wild variety of shrimp. It is caught in the frigid waters of the Argentine Patagonia and has a naturally occurring red pigmentation present in the raw and cooked state which is a result of carotenoids found in the shell. These succulent and flavorful shrimp have thetexture and flavor of lobster distinguishing it from the majority of shrimp on the market – which are from warm waters.
Staying true to its mission of providing US consumers with convenient, healthy, gourmet seafood options, Pier 33 Gourmet’s latest creations are bound to become staples for seafood enthusiasts. “We are excited to build on our popular Ocean Raised® Salmon offerings and to enter the biggest seafood segment in the US with our shrimp products.”
