10 Recipes to Try for National Shrimp Day

By Rebecca Gardon

Catalina Offshore wild Mexican shrimpThere are countless varieties of shrimp in the marketplace, but our favorite comes from Baja California. Harvested in the Sea of Cortez by fisherman who use low impact hand nets out of small panga boats, colossal Baja shrimp are perfectly sized for a stunning shrimp cocktail or impressive presentation over your favorite pasta, paella, or chilled seafood salad. In our opinion, it’s some of the best-tasting shrimp you’ll ever try. May 10th happens to be National Shrimp Day, which we think is the perfect excuse to pick up some of this shrimp at our local fish market or online store. We’ve even compiled 10 recipes to help you celebrate!
