Is There Such A thing as "Free Range" Shrimp?

Is There Such a Thing as “Free Range” Shrimp?
Prime Rib-Eye; The Ultimate Cut?
Did you know that 90% of the shrimp sold in the United
States come from shrimp farms in Latin America and
Southeast Asia?
Because of controlled growing conditions and the use of
special feed, antibiotics and chemicals, these shrimp lack
the natural “shrimpy” flavor that we have grown to forget
from years of eating only farm raised shrimp.
How many times have you ordered a shrimp dish from a
restaurant and can only confirm that shrimp are actually in
there only by seeing them, not tasting them?
There IS such a thing as “free-range” shrimp. These are
the “other” 10% of shrimp that are sold, and are usually
caught up and down the Southeast coast of the United
States. Domestic “wild” caught shrimp are from clean, deep,
warm waters and are safe to eat, untainted, cleaner, have
firmer flesh and packs a punch of that “REAL SHRIMPY,”
sweet, succulent flavor you probably haven’t tasted in
years!
This week-end at Ripe we are featuring the JUMBO version of
these delectable beauties, paired up with our Big-Ass
Rib-Eye Steak.
Rib-Eye is distinguished by the rich marbling running
within the meat. There are leaner cuts of meat available,
but it’s this rich marbling that makes the Rib-Eye cut the
juiciest of steaks with an intense, savory appeal.
This “AWESOME” juiciness and burst of flavor is packed into
every bite. As the grade of the cut improves, so does the
marbling. This week-end at Ripe, we will be featuring the
HIGHEST grade cut of Rib-Eye; the “PRIME” cut.
That “flavor kernel” will be unmistakable in every plate we
send out! Come early and rev up your taste buds with the
ultimate “Surf & Turf” Special—A enormous 16 oz Prime
Rib-Eye Steak, paired up with 5 extremely large “WILD”
flavor packed Gulf shrimp. I “DARE” you to find this deal
anywhere in New York at Ripe’s price.
