Understanding Sizes and uses

Shrimp size is measured by the count per pound—the number of individual shrimp required to make up one pound (e.g., 16/20). The smaller the numbers on the package, the larger the individual shrimp.
U15 (The Tiger)
16/20
31/35 and 36/40
41/50
"U" means Under:If you see "U-15" on a label, it indicates there are under 15 shrimp per pound (meaning they are gigantic). These Shrimps are massive and meaty. Ideal for premium presentations, shrimp cocktails, or grilling.


The Perfect "Bite" with Greate Visual Appeal: This size is highly sought after because it offers the perfect balance of heft, tenderness, and versatility. They are large enough to be the centerpiece of a dish while still cooking quickly without becoming rubbery. They are meaty and substantial enough to provide a satisfying, juicy crunch—making them the gold standard for shrimp cocktail or skewered grilling.
Appetizers, Cocktails, Pasta and Rice Dishes: Both sizes are ideal for Shrimp Alfredo or Paella. They are small enough to be eaten in a single bite along with pasta or rice but large enough to retain a meaty texture. This size provides balance and bite-sized convenience. 31/35 and 36/40 shrimp are the standard for high-volume shrimp cocktails at restaurants because they stay plump when poached gently.
Optimal Breading-to-Shrimp Ratio: Because 41/50 shrimp are smaller than "jumbo" or "colossal" sizes, they have a higher surface-area-to-volume ratio. This allows for more crispy breading per bite without the protein overwhelming the coating. Medium shrimp cook very quickly. This ensures the shrimp is perfectly tender and fully cooked at the exact moment the breading reaches a golden-brown, crispy state.
