U-20 White Shrimp are extra-jumbo sized, farm-raised shrimp sold by the pound at Costco's seafood counter. The "U-20" designation means under 20 shrimp per pound, placing them at the top of the jumbo size category — each individual shrimp is impressively large and well-suited for dishes where the shrimp is the focal point.

These are farm-raised Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), the most widely cultivated shrimp species in the world. Farm-raised white shrimp deliver consistent sizing, a mild and slightly sweet flavor, and a firm, snappy texture. They are previously frozen and thawed for sale at the seafood counter, a standard industry practice that preserves freshness and quality from harvest to purchase.

At this jumbo size, they are ideal for grilling, shrimp cocktail platters, sautéing in butter or garlic, pasta dishes, and surf-and-turf presentations. Their size makes them easy to handle and impressive when plated, and they cook quickly over high heat to a tender, juicy result.
