This is the official website of the Shawnee Freshwater Prawn Growers Association.

The Shawnee Freshwater Prawn Growers Association was formed in 2000 and consists of over 40 growers from Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri.  The mission of the Shawnee Prawn Growers Association is to develop and promote high quality freshwater shrimp in Southern Illinois.  Alternative agriculture is an important factor to be considered when promoting southern Illinois agriculture and regional products to the Illinois marketplace.  Utilizing colleges, universities, cooperatives, and economic development centers along with our area work ethic, we will develop a thriving aquaculture business, teach others, and help maintain family farm operations.  This association also can be capable of creating employment opportunities in Southern Illinois.
