Kroger had XL / 21-25 ct. shrimp on sale yesterday, so I stocked up as I always do when it goes on sale. Paid 5.97 lb. for deveined shrimp. Probably the best value for any meat right now. We have some type of shrimp almost every week.

But to your point on the taste. The shrimpers are on the water for days in the gulf and I think they flash freeze their catch. For me, the only good shrimp I buy are from the shrimpers directly.

Bought some today, paid more, but got the wild caught gulf.
