Eat some of the best shrimp that South Texas has to offer at the Aransas Pass Shrimporee festival, the largest of its kind in the state. The festival takes place every June and cooks up plenty of shrimp dishes that won't leave you hungry. Word to the wise - don't eat too much before getting on the carnival rides!
