    Did you know there are over 2,000 species of shrimp in the world? So, what are the various kinds of shrimp you can eat? Well, there is a list of 17 presently, not all are able to be used in the kitchen. The most common kinds of shrimp are:

    White Shrimp - This shrimp is commonly available at your local grocery store.

    Brown Shrimp - It is usually precooked, so you don't need to do much with it when using it in recipes.

    Rock Shrimp - It is known for its sweet flavor and lobster-like texture. The shells of rock shrimps are hard, so you would use kitchen shears to open them. Rock shrimp is usually cooked with the following methods boiling, frying, sautéing, steaming, or grilling.
