Shrimp

Shrimp

Shrimp are tasty little crustaceans that come in a variety of sizes measured by how many shrimp there are per pound. The largest size is the "Extra Colossal" which contains about 5 per pound. The smallest size is the "Extra Small" which contains about 65 shrimp per pound.

Shrimp cook quickly and will become rubbery and tough if over-cooked. They will turn opaque with a pink tint and they will start to curl into a "C" shape when cooked.
