Plan on 1/2 pound (8 oz) per person for peeled shrimp or 1 pound per person for shell-on/raw shrimp to account for weight loss during cooking. For appetizers, 1/4 pound per person is sufficient. A good rule of thumb for count is 5–7 large/jumbo shrimp per person. 

Shrimp count indicates how many pieces (individual shrimp) are in a pound. The higher the count the smaller and cheaper usually the shrimp are. The customer is paying for more meat and less work as the count goes down. We carry 36/40ct for our mediums they are the size of ones average pinky finger and our larges are 21/25 ct the size of ones average index finger.
