About Rock Shrimp
These are a deep-water cousin of red, pink, brown, and white shrimps. The similarity among these shrimp are just that because they have a hard shell and harvested in very deep waters (150-250 feet of water) offshore of Cocoa Beach, FL. The season comes once a year and they are well worth the wait every time. When the season begins, we find the rock shrimp to be smaller in size. However, they get pretty big towards the first weeks of September-forward!
Cooking Tips
Remember these are similar to a lobster, but mini. So the tender, juicy flavor is always paired with a lemon/lime or really anything from your garden. Rock shrimp cook very quickly compared to the typical white or red shrimp. To boil, they can cook between 45 seconds - 1 1/2 minutes. The easiest way to cook these are splitting down the back, seasoned on broil for 2 minutes or until meat is cooked throughly.
