The best seafood starts at the source. The waters of the Carolinas produce shrimp at the highest standard. Firm and sweet, medium-sized shrimp—estimate 31 to 35 per pound—are excellent added to ceviche (let the lime juice do the work), seafood salads, and spicy pasta dishes.
These raw medium shrimp work well in Citarella Owner Joe Gurrera’s classic ceviche recipe, as well as our Shrimp Po’Boy Sliders. You can also grill them, fry them, or sauté them.
Portion Size
Our Wild-Caught Medium Shrimp come approximately 35 per pound. We recommend 4 ounces of shrimp for an appetizer or 8 ounces for an entrée. The size of this order is 1lb (31-35 per lb), which serves 2-4 people.

Our Carolina shrimp are sourced from the northernmost shrimping region in the United States. The colder water results in a higher fat content (and rich, succulent shrimp).
Wine Pairings
"Enjoy with a cool glass of coastal Italian white like Vermentino or Verdicchio."
