White-leg shrimp, also known as Pacific white shrimp or king prawn, is a variety of prawn of the eastern Pacific Ocean commonly caught or farmed for food. It is the most successfully aqua-cultured shrimp, accounting for more than 75% of all farm-raised shrimp. Quality shrimp should have a crisp bite and a pleasant shrimp taste. It can be seasoned and used in a variety of preparations.
