U-20 Wild Gulf Shrimp are large, wild-caught shrimp harvested from the Gulf of Mexico and sold fresh at Costco's seafood counter by the pound. The "U-20" designation means there are under 20 shrimp per pound, classifying these as extra-large to jumbo-sized shrimp — one of the largest sizes available at retail. These shrimp are previously frozen to lock in freshness and thawed at the counter for immediate use.

Gulf shrimp are celebrated for their naturally sweet, mild flavor and firm, meaty texture. At U-20 size, they are ideal for impressive presentations and quick-cooking methods including grilling, broiling, shrimp cocktail, shrimp scampi, sautéing with garlic and butter, baking, or stuffing with crab or cheese fillings. Their generous size means fewer shrimp per serving while delivering a satisfying, restaurant-quality experience at home.
