Strong, a little salty, and firm, you know what you want and you love taking charge. You're not afraid to get your hands dirty, and you're ready for any adventure or challenge. You're an eternal optimist, and believe that with a positive attitude, you can do anything.
(Great for cooking because they never get stringy; slightly saltier flavor, typically available fresh and frozen year round.) americanshrimp.com/about-our-shrimp/shrimp-academy/
Pink shrimp

Sweet and kind, you're the quintessential zen nature lover. You flock to wherever is warm during the chilly winter months, and Florida holds a special place in your heart (which is actually in your head). You're a night owl and love the beauty of a starry night sky.
(High quality, but sometimes look more brown than pink; characterized by their sweet, firm texture; you usually find them during the winter months.) americanshrimp.com/about-our-shrimp/shrimp-academy/

You're an old soul, sophisticated and worldly. You've been around the block, have expensive tastes, but you haven't let what you've seen make you jaded; you're really quite tender and loving.
(Easy to peel; often considered the best wild shrimp there is, more expensive, but worth it.) americanshrimp.com/about-our-shrimp/shrimp-academy/
Royal red shrimp

Wow, talk about a sweetheart! You're the nicest person anyone has ever met, and you truly care about the world and want to give back to others. Your friends and family are your life, and you're a born nurturer.
(Buttery, sweet, with a lobster-like flavor; not often available, but if you see them, you should try them; find them early March through June.) americanshrimp.com/about-our-shrimp/shrimp-academy/
Rock shrimp

Rawr, watch you go! You're tough, determined and stubborn as a mule. You may occasionally hold a grudge, but everyone wants you on their team because you're a powerhouse. You can thrive in most environments and love being physically active.
(Often mistaken for a small lobster tail, they're sweet and firm; difficult to peel so they're usually found pre-peeled or pre-cooked.) americanshrimp.com/about-our-shrimp/shrimp-academy/

You are the fourth dimension of shrimp and frankly, we're concerned. You exist, and we know some things about you, but we can ~never truly understand you~...
(Don't eat it.)
