MexcianShrimpCouncil.orgShrimp are happiest in a nutrient-rich current, where the underwater habitat is pure and the climate creates idyllic temperatures. This shrimp utopia exists throughout coastal Mexico, and in two different environments: free-range and farm-raised.

Wild shrimp typically grows larger because of more swimming, which creates more muscle. They are known for an extra firm texture and a slightly sweet flavor.

Farm-raised shrimp grow in a controlled environment. In Mexico, close-to-shore ponds mimic habitats of wild shrimp for consistent quality and characteristic. These shrimp have a milder flavor and grow to be medium or large sized.
