Lent has begun, and until Easter (April 21 this year), many Christians around the world will be abstaining from meat. If meat normally is a significant part of your diet, that sacrifice might seem especially difficult to maintain.

But Wild American Shrimp can make a delicious difference. Seafood dishes, especially those featuring shrimp, are quick and easy to prepare — not to mention shrimp are America’s favorite seafood! Wild American Shrimp get their signature flavor by nature, growing up in the nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic.
