Costco's U-20 White Shrimp are extra-large to colossal farm-raised Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), with a count of under 20 shrimp per pound. Sold previously frozen and thawed in-store, these shrimp are available by the pound from the fresh seafood case. Costco sources its farm-raised white shrimp primarily from countries including India, Ecuador, and Thailand.

These large shrimp offer a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a firm yet tender texture, making them ideal for a wide range of preparations including grilling, sautéing, stir-frying, deep frying, boiling, and classic shrimp cocktail presentations. Their generous size holds up well to high-heat cooking and allows them to serve as a substantial protein centerpiece for meals.
