About Argentine red shrimp

Argentine red shrimp is a cold-water shrimp with naturally reddish shell coloration, commonly sold raw or cooked and often peeled or shell-on. The flesh is pale when raw and turns opaque when cooked, with a tender texture and a sweet, marine flavour. Size and texture vary with handling, freezing and cooking.

It is sold whole, peeled, deveined, or as tails and is used in a range of seafood preparations. Frozen product is common, and cooked and raw forms require different handling and cooking. Processed shrimp may include added water, salt or other ingredients, which should not be assumed from the ingredient name alone.
