Once upon a time, there were two headless,shell-on Shrimp .

7 Both were called 13/15. Butthen one got its shell peeled off. And it wastransformed into a 16/20. How? Simple. Tounderstand buying Shrimp , you have to knowhow it is counted. The count, as it is called,refers to how many individual Shrimp make upone pound. 13/15 simply means that there are 13 to 15 individual Shrimp in a one-poundbag. Go to a 31/40 count and you double thenumber of Shrimp purchased. But those 31/40shrimp are half the size of the 13/15 Shrimp . Also, each time a Shrimp is processed, it becomes one size smaller. So, back to those13/15 Shrimp . Remove the shell and theybecome 16/20s. And when they re cooked,they ll transform into 21/25s. This tale always has a happy ending, butkeep in mind when it comes to count, the sizeyou select does make a measurable differenceon the travels the globe seeking outthe finest Shrimp the world has to offer andthat s saying a lot.
