Chefs Note:
If buying precooked shrimp, remember they should be cooked a little longer, as they tend to be a bit rubbery.
Precooked frozen shrimp, are cooked and then flash frozen to appear larger to the consumers. This also holds true for raw frozen shrimp, once thawed they release water and shrink a bit, even more after cooking.
The larger product you buy, they tend to lose flavor/taste.
Many classifications for sizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, Jumbo, Colossal.
I tend to stick to X-Large, which on average is 30pcs./pound.
