Description

Our wild-caught Brown Shrimp delivers bold flavors and coastal authenticity in every bite. Sourced from the warm, nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coastline, these shrimp are prized for their deep, savory taste and firm texture, making them a staple in seafood boils, Creole dishes, and classic Southern comfort food. They tend to run smaller than the Canaveral Whites and have a beautiful golden brown color. They are amazing in boils and are extremely versatile and can hold up well with sauces; perfect for jambalaya. At Seafood Oceano, we bring you only the best, hand-selected brown shrimp for sale online, carefully processed and flash-frozen to maintain peak freshness and premium quality.

What sets brown shrimp apart is their distinctively rich flavor profile—more robust and complex than that of white or pink shrimp. They are perfect for dishes that demand flavor: gumbo, jambalaya, shrimp and grits, shrimp creole, spicy stir-fry, grilled skewers, or blackened shrimp tacos. Brown shrimp stand up beautifully to bold marinades and seasoning blends, especially those with citrus, garlic, cayenne, paprika, or buttery sauces.

Our large brown shrimp are available in a range of sizes (commonly 21/25 or 26/30 count per pound), with options including shell-on, easy-peel, and peeled & deveined formats to suit any cooking preference. Whether you’re preparing an elaborate dinner or a quick protein-packed weeknight meal, these shrimp are ready to cook straight from the bag. Their meaty bite and natural sweetness shine whether sautéed, grilled, pan-fried, or slow-simmered in rich stock.

In addition to their culinary appeal, brown shrimp are a healthy and sustainable choice. Naturally low in fat and calories yet high in lean protein, they’re also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, selenium, and vitamin B12—making them a heart-smart addition to any diet. All of our brown shrimp are wild-caught using responsible fishing methods, and many come from MSC-certified or Best Seafood Choices programs that support ocean health and long-term sustainability.

When you order from Seafood Oceano, you’re not just buying shrimp—you’re investing in quality, traceability, and taste you can trust. Each order is carefully packed in temperature-controlled boxes and shipped via overnight or express delivery to ensure it arrives cold, clean, and ready to cook. Whether you’re a home cook, seafood lover, or restaurant buyer, our fresh and frozen brown shrimp online bring the taste of the coast right to your doorstep.
