Prime Shrimp Launches All-New Shrimp Burger in DTC and Food Service

Introducing a new product line to its collection of cook-from-frozen solutions, Prime Shrimp introduces an 80 percent shrimp burger patty

NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prime Shrimp, a leading provider of premium shrimp products, announced the launch of its latest innovation: Prime Shrimp Burgers. Made with 80 percent shrimp and free from sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), these cook-from-frozen, pre-portioned patties are offered to customers across food service and retail.

Crafted with Pacific White Shrimp sourced from responsible aquaculture operations in Ecuador, each four-ounce shrimp burger patty contains a unique blend of large shrimp pieces, chopped bell pepper, and Prime Shrimp’s Signature Cajun seasoning.

The new product made its direct-to-consumer debut in May with an exclusive airing on QVC, where it completely sold out during its first and second broadcasts. Since then, Prime Shrimp Burgers have maintained a high customer rating on QVC, with reviewers praising the product’s flavor, convenience, and shrimp-forward texture.

“Customers have been clamoring for truly gourmet shrimp burgers for years, and we’ve finally perfected the craft,” said Davis McCool, Business Development Supervisor at Prime Shrimp. “Certainly, there are alternate shrimp and seafood burgers on the market, but there is nothing quite like the Prime Shrimp burger, as our customers have validated. 80 percent shrimp with no fillers or additives goes a long way toward impressing even the finest gourmet chefs.”

In addition to its QVC placement, the Prime Shrimp Burger is available to food service customers through distributors including Sysco, with item number 7385448. Prime Shrimp Burger Food Service packs come 24 in a case, offering food service owners and operators an efficient, cost-effective solution to easily add a unique menu item.

The launch of the Prime Shrimp Burger comes on the heels of a year of growth for the company in the food service sector as demand for high-quality, labor-saving seafood solutions has surged. Prime Shrimp has expanded distribution to a variety of restaurant groups and hospitality partners seeking dependable, premium shrimp products that are easy to prepare and consistent in quality. The company’s food service offerings—known for their versatility and fast prep times—have been especially popular with chefs and operators looking to elevate their seafood menus while simplifying back-of-house operations.

With the introduction of its shrimp burgers, Prime Shrimp continues its mission of delivering chef-quality shrimp meals with unmatched ease and integrity. All Prime Shrimp products are made in the company’s FDA-approved facility in New Orleans, where shrimp are peeled, deveined, and portioned to exacting standards.
