All About EZ-Peel Shrimp

Biloxi Shrimp Co. offers a wide variety of delicious, wild-caught Gulf shrimp shipped anywhere across the country, from peeled and deveined to shell-on. Today, we want to talk about one of our favorites, one of our company’s most special offerings: EZ-Peel Shrimp!

We get plenty of people asking us, “What are EZ-Peel Shrimp?” and we’re more than happy to talk all about them. First of all, the answer is in the name: our EZ-Peel Shrimp are shrimp that are made easier to peel!

EZ-peel shrimp are headless and arrive at your door still in their shells. What makes them unique from shell-on shrimp is our special process, we slightly hand-cut the center of each shrimp to allow for easy peeling, making this variety perfect for do-it-yourself shrimp preparation. Aside from being able to easily peel and prepare the shrimp, our harvesters find shrimp of all sizes – including extra-jumbo – thanks to the Gulf Coast’s fertile waters.

While our EZ-Peel Shrimp don’t come deveined, deveining is quick and easy for those who wish to do it: just check out this handy video for reference!

What’s great about our EZ-Peel Shrimp is that they’re not only perfect for those who just want to peel and eat shrimp as they are, but also they’re amazing for use in recipes that cook shrimp with the shells on to maintain their mouthwatering flavor.

From a Traditional Biloxi Shrimp Boil to Sheet Pan Shrimp Scampi, a seasoned seafood chef knows that cooking shrimp with the shells still on as long as possible allows the sweet and tender meat inside to soak up all of the flavor that the shells provide. That’s why so many shrimp lovers keep the shells and tails: their flavor alone can be used to make complementary dishes like a tasty shrimp broth!

When you cook with shell-on shrimp — made all the easier to work with thanks to our EZ-Peel Shrimp — you open up an entirely new world of shrimp-ly amazing possibilities!

To promote our EZ-Peel Shrimp, we’re providing a special offer for our Jumbo 21/30 EZ-Peel Shrimp: we’re lowering our price from $23 to $20! Even better, our Family Catch Bundle, featuring EZ-Peel Shrimp, is being marked down from $87.54 to $84.54: a total of 18% off the whole bundle!

Your gift recipients can stock the freezer and have ample for the holidays! Or if you prefer, you can send a gift certificate by email. Just visit our Gift Ideas page!
