After total defrost out of the bag, the shrimp still weighed 3 pounds. After the shell and tail removed the shrimp weighed 2.2 pounds, which is normal. Some of the shrimp are ragged out that I believe from a dull deveining machine. These shrimp are farm raised which means they are milder than gulf caught, but I prefer farm raised.

My family is obsessed with this shrimp. It’s so good and easy to cook since they are deveined. I always keep the shell on when cooking for optimal flavor. They don’t shrink when cooked and have a sweet taste to them. Definitely DO NOT taste farm raised. You won’t regret buying these, plus, for the price it’s unbeatable. Well done Sam’s!!!

This is the first time and the last time purchasing these, supposed to be jumbo suze shrimp. The packaging should say large or smaller. All sizes were in this bag. I only buy jumbo size shrimp. In our household, we eat shrimp on a regular basis. This product did not make the cut for our household.

I bought this last week and was disappointed. The shrimp were not jumbo and after cooking them they were even smaller. Smaller than cocktail shrimp. The package says three pounds but when you thaw out the ice appendages that stick to each shrimp you’re lucky if you have two pounds of shrimp. As far as the taste and everything else was good. Nothing i hate more than deception on weight and size.

I have brought this shrimp several times and sometimes the packaging is different. Also the shrimp is different inside the package. I think the firm shrimp is a better quality. I never know when the best shrimp is available. But I do recommend this product.

I made shrimp and grits for the first time two days ago and the shrimp was amazing. Very easy to peel and it cooks so beautifully that a recipe that serves eight was devoured by my family of five. Compare the prices and you'll find that this 3 lb. bag of shrimp is the best value for your money.

I'm going to compare these to the best shrimp available, which is the 2 lb. tail-on jumbo shrimp, also at Sam's. It is slightly more expensive ($1.50/lb. more), but well worth it. We buy a lot of shrimp as it is one of our favorite foods. And the 2 lb. shrimp are much better than even the competing other big box store's shrimp. Though they call the 3 lb. bag jumbo, 21 - 30 per pound, the majority of the shrimp are not even large, they are medium. In the 2 lb. bag of tail-on shrimp, those are listed as 21 - 25 per lb., and they are mostly jumbo. Peeling these " EZ peel" shrimp is pretty easy when they are first boiled and still warm. After being refrigerated though, it becomes quite a bit more difficult. As for "de-veining", the 2 lb. bag shrimp are generally very clean. The shrimp in this 3 lb. bag however, are not. Many need to be cut on the back of the lower tail and even on the upper part of the body where it has already been cut, but often has large amounts of dark green "vein", which is actually part of their digestive system. The taste though is quite good.

We bought the shrimp wondering what they would taste like. Upon defrosting them, they were the easiest to peel ! I cooked them in my gumbo and the shrimp were wonderful !! They had no gritty taste or dirtiness taste. It wS pleasant to eat shrimp without the dye taste also !!

This 3# bag of shrimp for less than $13 is a win win! Amazing size! I use these for shrimp boils and my meal preps for clients and they are a great quality! The shells are firm for my boils and they don’t shrink when cooked. They don’t have a smell which is good! I hope they stay this price forever! I buy 5-6 bags at a time and store them in my freezer! The only place I get my shrimp!

I bought these shrimp to butterfly, coat, and fry. There was not enough meat to butterfly. I ended up just shelling the shrimp and frying them like popcorn shrimp. There were about 3 or 4 shrimp that I would classify as large but, the rest were medium at best. When I bought the package I didn't inspect the contents carefully because i've always trusted Members Mark and Sam's. Im hoping it was a labelling mistake, otherwise, it's a rip-off.
