pink shrimp

Rosy seafood morsel

Pink shrimp are a commercially important species of shrimp found in Atlantic waters, named for their pinkish color when raw—unlike most shrimp, which turn pink only when cooked.

They're harvested extensively in the Gulf of Mexico and sold fresh, frozen, or processed: Gulf pink shrimp are prized for their sweet flavor.
