Patagonia red shrimp now available at Meijer stores

(WJBK) - Patagonia red shrimp is often described as being a cross between a shrimp and a lobster. 

Although it can be enjoyed as a "cocktail" shrimp, Patagonia red shrimp plays well in dishes that highlight its natural flavor. "Softer" flavors, such as basic olive oil/garlic, butter, pasta with a light sauce, bring out the best in Patagonia red shrimp.

Meijer test kitchen chef Chad Beuer joined us on The Nine to tell us more about the crustacean. You can hear from him in the video player above. This story will be updated to include his recipe. 

Beginning in March, you can find Patagonia red shrimp at all Meijer stores.
