NaturalShrimp to Launch Online Ordering Home Delivery Program
NaturalShrimp, Inc., a biotechnology aquaculture company that has developed and patented the first shrimp-focused commercially operational recirculating aquaculture system, will attend the 10th Anniversary World Food Championships Nov. 9-13 in Dallas.
The World Food Championships is the largest competition in food sport, where culinary competitors of previous events convene for a chance at winning the ultimate food crown and a share of hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money. The 2021 World Food Championships attracted more than 1,500 cooks from 42 states and six countries, with 17,000 foodies watching in person.
Director of e-commerce Chef Douwe Iedema will be judging on two panels, SEAFOOD: Master Judge in Opening Round, Nov. 10, at 12:30 p.m. and SEAFOOD: Finals Panel, Nov. 12 at 1:30 p.m.
“Nowhere is the spirit of culinary passion, product integration and foodie engagement more alive than at the World Food Championships, and I am honored to be a judge in the Seafood category this year,” said Iedema. “I am also excited to highlight our fresh, land-based gourmet-grade shrimp to attendees.
“The event coincides with the upcoming launch of our online ordering home delivery program, which will include fresh harvested heads-on shrimp and my long-awaited shrimp cocktail sauce. Recipe books and instructional videos for the home cook will be available as well. I look forward to sampling some amazing seafood dishes from the contestants and promoting how NaturalShrimp’s sustainable shrimp can be a fresh addition to home chef’s meals.”
NaturalShrimp is a publicly traded aquaculture company, headquartered in Dallas, with production facilities located near San Antonio and Webster City, Iowa. The company has developed the first commercially viable system for growing shrimp in enclosed, salt-water systems, using patented technology to produce fresh, naturally grown shrimp, without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals.
