It's easy to be passionate about these “Low-Country” shrimp. They are considered to be more consistent in quality and flavor. When cooked properly, they are sweet, tender, and have the fresh aroma of the sea, with no "fishy" taste or smell. Those who have never eaten wild-caught fresh shrimp before are stunned when they eat them. Shrimp are born in the ocean and are invisible to the naked eye.
