The Gulf of Mexico produces some of the finest wild-caught shrimp in the world and these shrimp are prized by chefs and home cooks alike for their clean flavor, firm texture, and unmatched freshness. Gulf shrimp have a mild, sweet flavor and a satisfying texture that holds up beautifully whether you're grilling, sautéing, steaming, or poaching.
At The Crab Place, we've been sourcing and delivering world-class seafood since 1996 — the very first to sell seafood on the internet.
For nearly 30 years, we've built direct relationships with domestic shrimpers off the Texas Gulf Coast and the Florida Keys, and we ship straight to your door, anywhere in the USA. No middlemen. No compromises.
Whether you're stocking up in bulk for a summer seafood boil or selecting a premium variety for an elevated dinner, our Gulf shrimp options give you restaurant-quality, choice seafood at the best delivered price available online.
Sustainably Harvested & Flash Frozen for Peak Freshness
Our shrimpers have earned the prestigious Certified Seafood International (CSI) certification, an independent standard that verifies exemplary environmental stewardship and responsible harvesting. The Crab Place maintains that standard from dock to doorstep, delivering shrimp that meet the highest bar for quality, sustainability, and purity. This is exactly what our customers can expect to receive when they want the very best available, and justifiably decide to go with us.
They are wild-caught in sustainable fisheries and IQF on vessel(individually quick frozen) at the moment of peak freshness. That process locks in their naturally sweet, firm texture without the need for preservatives, giving you a truly chemical-free shrimp that’s as close to just-caught as it gets.
Gulf Shrimp Size Guide
We offer our Gulf Shrimp in three boutique sizes that you don't find at your local seafood retailers or grocery stores.
- Under 12 per pound — Mega-Monster size. Impressive plate presence, ideal for grilling, scampi, and centerpiece dishes.
- 10–15 per pound — Big Momma size. Large, meaty, and versatile. Great for boils, sautéing, and pasta.
- 16–20 per pound — Jumbo size. A classic choice for most recipes. Works well grilled, fried, or in sauces.
As a general rule, plan for 4–6 large shrimp per person as an appetizer and 6–8 per person as a main course.
