Time to rework that Thanksgiving menu! This Friday only, November 12th, Whole Foods Market is featuring 31/40 count (medium) cooked shrimp at just $5.99 per pound!
These tasty shrimp are cooked, peeled and deveined too, with just the tail left on, perfect for dipping or pasta recipes. And, yes, I said $5.99 per pound —that’s around 50% off!
We’re making it available in two ways: thawed ready to eat and frozen in 2–pound bags — either way, it’s only $5.99 per pound. You can stock up for the holiday season.
Since this deal is so crazy good, we are limiting each customer to no more than 10 pounds so everybody can get in on the fun. Need some ideas for how to prepare your shrimp? Try these faves:
- Quick and Easy Shrimp Dip
- Shrimp Cocktail with Creamy Spicy Green Onion Dipping Sauce
- Seafood Cucumber Stacks
- Chicken Sausage Jambalaya with Shrimp
It’s time to throw a party and show off just a little. Cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp makes it fast and easy, and this sale makes it super economical. Come see us on Friday, November 12th!

I know Whole Foods has a commitment to sustainable seafood. What’s the origin of these shrimp? Thanks!

Any way to place an order and have it held? We are going out of town on Friday and won’t be back until Monday afternoon. Would love to take advantage of this great offer!
Thank you!

@Mic: That’s a decision that needs to be made by the store at which you shop. I suggest reaching out to your local seafood counter to see if they can accomodate you. Thanks!

Are the shrimp farm raised? I ate shrimp at a restaurant and it tasted like mud…super gross.

I, too, wondered the origin of these shrimp? Also, I wonder if I could get them raw, instead of cooked? But still cleaned & deveined.
Thanks!

You can read this blog post about where our farm-raised shrimp comes from and why it’s so special (and tasty).

Also, Shelley, the 1-day sale is only for our cooked shrimp.

I wish it was wild shrimp. I don’t buy farm raised. Too bad. Would easily pay more for wild too…

What country are the shrimp from?
November 10th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Please tell me what is RESPONSIBLY FARMED? Is it organic? Is is non-GMO? Is it all natural? Is it antibiotic free? Is the feed used for the shrimp any of the above?
Just what is RESPONSIBLY FARMED? Does it simply mean the farm workers pay their bills on time? I hope this isn’t just some new jargon to fool the consumer.

I am surprised that you suggest serving them for Thanksgiving. Will they still be safe to eat by then? Or are they frozen?
Thanks!

Too bad this sale is not for large or x-large shrimp.

what is ‘responsibly farmed’ shrimp?
November 11th, 2010 at 7:22 am
Would like to know does responsibly farmed shrimp mean?

Farming seafood can provide a consistent, high-quality, year-round supply of healthy and delicious protein. When it’s done right, aquaculture can be environmentally friendly and can be a crucial way to supplement wild-caught fish supplies.

If you purchase the frozen packs how long will they keep for? Was thinking to stock up for Christmas parties if they can be kept in the freezer for that long.
November 11th, 2010 at 9:00 am
The bags of frozen shrimp shouldn’t be kept for longer than 60 days.

This shrimp is from THAILAND. Whole Foods should be buying shrimp from the USA as should everyone who lives in the USA. Whatever happened to buying locally???
November 11th, 2010 at 11:54 am
I do want to mention that the shrimp that I buy from Thailand is usually wonderful shrimp compared to many others that I’ve purchased.
November 12th, 2010 at 12:49 am
Is it only available in 2 lb bags? Can I buy only 1 pound?
November 12th, 2010 at 9:20 am
@Jennie Sorry for the confusion. You can buy whatever quantity you prefer from the thawed shrimp (up to 10 pounds) while the frozen shrimp is being sold in 2-lb bags. Thanks for helping us clarify!
