Shrimp facts. Texas and Louisiana are the Gulf's two biggest shrimp producers, particularly for brown shrimp. In 2009, 80 percent of the shrimp caught in the U.S. came out of the Gulf. The western Gulf is expected to catch 59.2 million pounds of brown shrimp this season. Almost half of the western Gulf's total will come from Texas: 27.4 million pounds.
