Maine shrimp meat can be found at most supermarkets and your local seafood pound. But deals can be had if you’re willing to buy the shrimp whole and do the shucking yourself. Substitute Maine shrimp into any shrimp dish, but simple preparations showcase them best.
If you’re in the Portland area, you can stop into the Harbor Fish Market to try Ducktrap River of Maine‘s smoked Maine shrimp – a great addition to an appetizer plate or as a take along to that special wintertime party.
