Pink shrimp are sweet and tender, typically caught in South Florida and Gulf waters. The season is March through May, and October through December. White shrimp (Oct.-Dec.), mild and tender, are primarily caught on the Atlantic coast.  Brown shrimp (June-Aug.) are found in deeper waters. Rock shrimp (Aug.-Oct.) have hard shells and sweet flesh that tastes somewhat like lobster.
