NYACK, N.Y. — New Wave Foods, an innovator in sustainable plant-based seafood, has partnered with Chef Brian Duffy, known to many for his appearances on Bar Rescue, The Today Show, Food Network, HGTV and more, to spread the word on New Wave Foods’ plant-based shrimp to foodservice operators.

“New Wave Shrimp is an exciting product that tastes just like ocean shrimp but widens the plate with its plant-based appeal,” said Chef Duffy. “Plus, the products partner well with rubs, sauces and marinades in hot shrimp dishes, which opens it up to so many possibilities that I’m eager to explore and share with restaurant operators around the country.”
Duffy’s recipes will demonstrate to operators how they can capitalize on rising consumer interest in ocean sustainability without sacrificing on delicious, craveable flavors.
