Raising Shrimp? In Iowa?
It may be hard to believe, but our farm produces some of the cleanest, freshest shrimp available in the region. We use an algae-based Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS), one of the most innovative and sustainable technologies in modern aquaculture. Our saltwater shrimp live in clear, clean, carefully balanced water, and you can taste the difference!
How do I peel a shrimp?

What is the best way to cook fresh shrimp?
For the freshest flavor, we recommend keeping it simple, grill the shrimp with a little oil and a light sprinkle of seasoning. A few minutes over medium heat is all it takes to bring out their incredible natural sweetness. That said, our shrimp are versatile and shine in all kinds of dishes. They fry up beautifully for crispy appetizers, pair perfectly with pasta for a rich, comforting meal, and add amazing flavor to stir-fries, tacos, or salads. No matter how you cook them, the clean taste comes through in every bite.
