The best American shrimp I ever had were rock shrimp from Florida cooked with shells on. Unfortunately they got overfished and are barely around these days.

During peak years, commercial landings of brown rock shrimp reached over 20 million pounds annually. Specifically, the highest recorded landings occurred in 1996...This contrasts sharply with the 600,000 pounds landed in 2023
Honestly, given the supply chain length that we all said just 2 years ago needed to change, support your local farmer.
