Buying Shrimp and Shrimp "Count"... How Many Shrimp are in a Pound?
Have you ever noticed, that when you buy shrimp there is a label with a number divided by a slash? Shrimp are sold by the "count", which tells you the approximate number of shrimp in one pound. For instance, if you buy 16/20, there are between 16 and 20 shrimp per pound.
