Tailgating Menu: Grilled Wild American Shrimp

Shrimp on the grill is good any time of year but especially good during football season. However, whether you’re tailgating with friends or grilling on the weekend, wild American shrimp is a great choice to throw on the grill.

Wild American shrimp is caught off the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts. Much of the shrimp consumers eat is pond-raised and imported, which lacks the nutrition and flavor of wild-caught shrimp.

Wild American shrimp can be cooked ahead of time or grilled minutes before serving. Low in fat and packed with flavor, protein and cardio-protective omega-3 fatty acids, it gives party-goers plenty of energy to cheer for their favorite team.
