white shrimp
Pale coastal shellfish
White shrimp are a commercially important species found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the Americas.
They have a translucent grayish-white shell that turns pink when cooked.
Prized for their mild, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture, white shrimp are a staple of Southern cuisine: white shrimp and grits, a white shrimp boil.
