Pacific Shrimp

Premium Vannamei shrimp from Ecuador, the world's #1 exporter.

What is it?

The story behind the product.

Ecuador is the world's largest exporter of Vannamei (Litopenaeus vannamei) shrimp — a position earned through decades of disciplined aquaculture, low-density pond management, and direct access to clean Pacific waters. The result is shrimp with a firm bite, sweet flavor, and consistent count-per-pound that buyers can build menus and packaging around.

We offer head-on, headless shell-on (HLSO), peeled and deveined (P&D), and easy-peel formats across the full size spectrum — from U10 colossal down to 41/50 — in both fresh and IQF block frozen presentations.

All product is processed in HACCP-certified, FDA-registered facilities and ships with full traceability documentation for any destination market.
