Prime Shrimp, an innovative brand in the seafood industry aiming to increase shrimp consumption, has announced its expansion into select Whole Foods Market locations across the United States. Now, shoppers in over 200 Whole Foods stores in regions like the Northeast, North-Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, South, and Southwest can find four of Prime Shrimp’s best-selling flavors: Signature, Lemon & Cracked Pepper, Garlic Herb Butter, and New Orleans-Style BBQ.
Tom Welles, Whole Foods Market account manager at Prime Shrimp, expressed the significance of this expansion: “Expanding Prime Shrimp’s availability in the U.S. by launching with Whole Foods Market marks the achievement of a long-held aspiration for our brand. Whole Foods Market’s values resonate with our mission to offer better, more sustainable nourishment that fits seamlessly into the lives of the modern, conscious consumer. Given the growing demand for our products, Whole Foods Market is the ideal collaborator to broaden our reach and make Prime Shrimp’s easy-to-cook shrimp offering more accessible.”
With nearly 80 years of expertise in the seafood industry, Prime Shrimp creates premium shrimp products designed to simplify the cooking experience. Their unique vacuum-packed, cook-in-pouch method eliminates common challenges associated with preparing shrimp, including thawing, smell, and mess, making it easier for consumers to add shrimp to their regular protein rotation. Prime Shrimp aims to position responsibly farmed shrimp as a nutritious alternative to traditional proteins like chicken, beef, or pork.
Prime Shrimp’s products, available in the frozen seafood section at Whole Foods Market stores and through Whole Foods Market on Amazon, include a variety of seasoned and sauced options. Each pack is peeled, deveined, and precisely prepared in the U.S. from responsibly farmed Ecuadorian shrimp, meeting Whole Foods Market’s rigorous standards that prohibit certain chemicals used in shrimp farming and processing.
