Kirkland Signature U-15 White Shrimp is a jumbo-grade, farm-raised raw shrimp sold fresh per pound from Costco's seafood counter. The "U-15" size designation means fewer than 15 shrimp per pound, placing these among the largest shrimp available at retail. They are previously frozen and carefully thawed for in-store convenience, maintaining their fresh quality.

These large white shrimp are farm-raised and sourced from countries including India, Thailand, and Ecuador. Because they are sold raw, they deliver superior flavor and texture compared to pre-cooked alternatives, giving home cooks full control over preparation. Their impressive size makes them ideal for grilling, pan-searing, shrimp cocktail, garlic butter sauté, pasta dishes, and stir-fries. To determine doneness, look for the shrimp to turn fully pink and opaque with a slight curl.

When purchasing previously frozen shrimp from the fresh counter, it is best to use within one to two days or refreeze promptly for longer storage.
