Royal Red Shrimp (pleoticus robustus)
Royal Red Shrimp are a deep water bright red shrimp caught mostly off of Florida’s Coast and a few places in the Gulf of Mexico. The shrimp have large heads, long antennae and feelers and very red shell.
Royal Red’s are the sweetest shrimp there is. The highly prized flavor is unique and highly sought after. The deep water gives the meat a soft texture so care in cooking is required. They are great peeled and the fried or broiled in the shell.
Royal Red Shrimp fishing is a hard and dangerous. They are only usually fished when Rock Shrimp are out of season or in short supply. For the restaurant that wants a great product that not everyone has (or can get) Royal Red Shrimp are the perfect choice.
Moon’s Seafood Company has several good sources for this great product.
