Beat at low speed until blended. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Bake at 325º F for about one hour to one hour and 15 minutes or until the filling sets.

Fresh Shrimp

Shrimp season is on fire in Louisiana, a great season to date. Our shrimp come direct from the processing plant in Delcambre, the shrimp capital of the world. You cannot get any fresher than that. Try any one of our fresh Gulf Shrimp packs, the most tasty shrimp with full flavor. We guarantee a fresh product, it's our business.

Throwing a shrimp boil, you'll need appetizers, such as boudin, or andouille sausage. We've got packs of fresh Louisiana crawfish tails, ready to make that delicious home made crawfish etouffee. Our premium wild gulf shrimp are caught off the Louisiana coast. We package our shrimp in 5 lbs. blocks, Headless, Peeled and Deveined, along with IQF packs. Our fresh shrimp are caught daily and processed the same day, giving you the freshest product.
