• Shrimp sizes and prices are determined by the number of shrimp per pound. They are usually packaged as 11/20, 21/30, 31/40, 41/50, or 51/60 sizes. That means that the 11/20 will have 11 to 20 shrimp per pound. The larger shrimp are impressive, but at about $20 per pound, the price is prohibitive. So unless you are really trying to impress someone, the smaller 41/50 or 51/60 shrimp are a much better buy, often going on sale for $4 to $5 per pound.
