Shrimps are numerous mostly small and marine decapod crustaceans (suborders Dendrobranchiata and Pleocyemata) having an elongated slender body, a compressed stomach, and a long spiny rostrum.

Shrimp are widespread in the seafloor of most coasts and bay, as well as in rivers and lakes. Most shrimp species are marine but some species are found in freshwater. They have an average age of about 5 years or less. They begin their lives as a male, then at about the age of 2-3 they become females for the remainder of their lives.

They have different appearances like Gulf Shrimp, White Shrimp, Pink Shrimp, Brown Shrimp.

Pink Shrimps has three varieties in US. Two are cold-water and one is warm water which is also called gulf pink. The other two shrimps are smaller and are sold in the market as "salad shrimps". The cold water pinks have a more intense flavor than the gulf pinks.

Brown Shrimps have a firmer texture than other shrimp with meat which, when cooked, is slightly redder than white shrimp. Brown Shrimp have a flavor which is very dependent upon their diet. They can be bland, earthy or robust or mildly sweet, or can have a mild to a pronounced iodine-like flavor.
