This is the first year we've gotten this shrimp, and we're loving it! Get it while you can. Wild East Coast USA Pink Shrimp are tender, flavorful, and sweet. Cooking tips: Firm shrimp can be breaded or stuffed. It can also be boiled with spices or barbecued. Shrimp cooks in just 60 to 90 seconds at a rapid boil. When the meat turns opaque, it’s done. Remember not to overcook—it will toughen the meat.
