There are different sizes of shrimp - this cannot be answered with any precision. It depends on the size of the shrimp. Shrimp are classified by "U" (U10-12, U20-25, etc). This refers to the number of shrimp per pound. If you bought a bag of frozen shrimp, it should be marked somewhere on the outside. If you bought them at a meat/fish market, they should be able to tell you. Four ounces equals a quarter pound. So if you have U-20 shrimp (20 per pound) then divide by 4 and you get 5, the number of U-20s in a quarter pound. If you have U-30s, then you have 7-8 per pound.
This is sort of a trick question. the answer lies in the size of the shrimp. for example, 16/20 size refers to how many shrimp are in a pound. This means that their are approximately 18 shrimp in a pound. Each shrimp would be slightly less than one oz. If the shrimp were 41/50 size. Average 48 pieces would weigh 1 pound approximately. 48pcs / 16 oz = 3pcs per oz. If the shrimp were gigantic 4/6 size. 4 in a pound = 4oz each 5 in a pound 3.3 oz each. 6 in a pound, 2.25oz each. You get the math. Also realize that if the shrimp are unpeeled with head on, the peeled weight will be about 15% less. If the shrimp are unpeeled with the shell on, they will lose about 5% more weight in the shells. Generally the price of shrimp is proportionate to the size of the shrimp.
Depends on the shrimp. Shrimp are typically sold by "number per pound" - so you would divide the number per pound by 16 to get the average ounces.
So, as an example, 13-15 shrimp would be 13-15 shrimp per pound, divided by 16 would end up being a little over one ounce per shrimp, and 20-24 shrimp would average a little less than 1.5 shrimp per ounce.
That depend precisely on the size of the shrimp. Typically only the tail of the shrimp is sold and or cooked and eaten. Shrimp vary in size from very extra small cocktail shrimp (about 20 per ounce) to extra jumbo (about 2 ounces per tail). Most large and extra large shrimp (retail size)[most often served in retail establishments] are about 2 tails per ounce or approximately 30 shrimp per pound plus or minus about 4.
There are approximately 28.35 grams in 1 ounce of raw shrimp.
About 4.
About 1.5 of an ounce
It varies on the size of the shrimp
Little ones, about 12, large Mediterranean, about 1.
The size of shrimp can vary, but generally, two medium-sized shrimp would weigh between 1 to 2 ounces.
A typical price for good quality flash frozen jumbo shrimp (of at least 1 oz per shrimp) is about $1 per ounce. On sale, they are more like $0.50 to $0.60 per ounce. Therefore, 3 ounces of raw shrimp would be about $1.50 in $US for the lot which would be about 3 jumbo shrimp.
The number of jumbo shrimp in 7 oz will vary based on the size of the shrimp. On average, you can expect approximately 5-8 jumbo shrimp per ounce, so in 7 oz, you would have approximately 35-56 jumbo shrimp.

Large prawns are usually called 'jumbo prawns' or 'jumbo shrimp'. The words shrimp and prawn are used mostly interchangeably even though shrimp and prawns differ in their gill structure and are not the same creatures.Normally prawns or shrimp which are more than 1 ounce in weight (raw) are called 'jumbo' prawns or jumbo shrimp. This is 16 prawns per pound.
There are usually numbers that describe the size of shrimp. These numbers tell you approximately how many shrimp are in one pound. The larger the shrimp, the fewer it takes to make a pound. Ask the seller where you plan to buy the shrimp what the "count" of the shrimp is for the size you want. They can tell you how many shrimp will be in one pound. The largest shrimp I've purchased were (10-16) size. That meant there were from 10 to 16 shrimp in one pound. If you buy that type of shrimp, you'd need about 4 or 5 pounds to be sure you had 48 shrimp.
Not as many calories as eating shrimp will give you
