Red shrimp is not as expensive as green shrimp, green shrimp is more expensive.

Because the shell of the green shrimp is softer, the meat is more tender, but in the process of transportation, low vitality, can not stand too much stimulation and bumps, the mortality rate is relatively high, is not easy to long-distance transportation, transportation costs are high, so the price will be more expensive.

And the red shrimp shell hard, tenacious, high survival rate during transportation, easy to long-distance transportation, so generally speaking, the price of red shrimp will be a little lower than the green shrimp.
