Raise your hand if you love shrimp.
Keep it up if you love cooking shrimp at home.

If you put your hand down, we get it. Buying seafood at the grocery store and cooking it at home can be a hassle: inconsistent product quality, messy prep, strong smells, unfamiliar meal planning.

Peeling Shrimp For Over 75 Years

Our Legacy

In 1943, our founder, at just 16 years old, dreamed up a shrimp-peeling machine while working a summer job at his father's seafood-packing plant in Houma, Louisiana. (That's him carrying the barrel.)

This was the first of thousands of innovative solutions that have improved the way every kind of food from seafood to vegetables to baked goods makes its way into our homes.

Better Sourcing

Premium Ecuadorian Shrimp

We source Prime Shrimp from the leading suppliers in Ecuador, where less-intensive farming methods and advanced harvest and production technology make their aquaculture industry the most sustainable of its kind.

A more natural diet and extra room to move allow Ecuadorian shrimp to develop better flavor and texture without the use of antibiotics EVER.

Better Processing

Prime Shrimp Precision Peeling

We do everything from sorting to peeling to packing to freezing with precision automation in our own domestic BAP-certified facility.

This minimizes handling, protects the shrimp from abuse and offers a new standard in social responsibility and processing transparency.
