In seafood, we’ve been trained to think bigger means better. With cold-water shrimp, it’s not that simple.
A Pandalus borealis shrimp is small for one reason: it grew slowly, over years, in cold Atlantic water. That same slow growth is what gives it its clean sweetness and tender bite. The size and the flavour come from the same place.
So small isn’t lesser. It’s the proof.
