Shrimp, butter, garlic, lemon.\u00a0 That is it! Saute in a pan, skewer and broil or BBQ.\u00a0 Too easy!<\/em><\/p>\n

.4 oz. is a standard\u00a0serving\u00a0size for protein-based foods.\u00a0 However, think about who you are serving (football team vrs book club) and what else is being served (potatoes vs salad)\u00a0 The guidelines become more about number\/size than weight.<\/p>\n

The grade of the shrimp( X\/X ) is the number of shrimp per pound.\u00a0 Depending on the size grade of your\u00a0shrimp, this translates to the following approximate\u00a0shrimp serving\u00a0sizes:\u00a0 (notice the larger the number, the smaller the shrimp). It would appear that the cooked, peeled (tail on\/off) are graded on their raw weight.<\/p>\n

The list below refers to unpeeled raw shrimp without their heads<\/strong>.\u00a0 Peeled shrimp weigh about half as much as shrimp with shells,\u00a0 No one will tell you about the ones peeled but with tails on!<\/p>\n

Extra Colossal (Under\/10 count per pound) 3 per serving<\/p>\n

Colossal (Under\/12 count per pound) 3 shrimp<\/p>\n

Extra Jumbo (16\/20 count per pound) 7 shrimp<\/p>\n

Jumbo (21\/25 count per pound) 5-6 shrimp.<\/p>\n

Extra Large (26\/30 count per pound) 7 shrimp<\/p>\n

Large (31\/35 count per pound): 8-9\u00a0shrimp.<\/p>\n

Medium Large (36\/40 count per pound)\u00a0 10 shrimp<\/p>\n

Medium (41\/50 count per pound): 12 shrimp.<\/p>\n

Small (51\/60 Count per pound)\u00a0 14 shrimp<\/p>\n

Extra Small (61\/70 count per pound)\u00a0 16 shrimp<\/p>\n

Tiny (over 70 count per pound) stop counting! just use “enough”<\/p>\n

Fresh or Frozen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not everyone has the luxury of buying really fresh or live (off the boat – and most shrimp are instantly frozen on the boat) shrimp. If fresh is not available to you, buy frozen as most \u201cfresh\u201d shrimp in the grocery stores is thawed-out frozen shrimp. Thawed shrimp has a shelf-life of only a couple of days versus frozen shrimp which retains their quality for several weeks.\u00a0 Defrost shrimp in the refrigerator or in cold water. Shrimp cooks very quickly so defrosting in the sink or microwave is a big no-no.<\/p>\n
