Royal Reds (Pleoticus Robustus) are perhaps the sweetest, softest texture, and most delicate of all our native shrimp species. These vibrant red shrimp never see the light of day, preferring the cold dark depths out at the edge, where the gently sloping bottom of the Gulf drops abruptly off the continental shelf. Depths from 1,200 feet to over a half mile down are the home to this sweetest of all shrimp. Steamed, grilled, or sautéed these sweet shrimp are delicious. Due to their more delicate texture, cook times for these shrimp must be cut almost in half. Normally they are only available through late spring, and range from the Desoto Canyon off of Pensacola all the way along the shelf's edge to the Dry Tortugas in the Florida Keys. Individually quick frozen.

These shrimp are only available for a limited time. When they're gone, they're gone, until next season. Order now!
