Shrimp are sold by weight and are sized by the number of shrimp it takes to equal one pound. You may see descriptive size names given for shrimp such as small, medium, large or jumbo. There is no standardized and regulated set on these counts, so always compare prices based on the actual count per pound.

Trawler Lauren Jean Shrimp counts and sizes: Jumbo – 8 to 15 Count Large – 16 – 25 Count Medium – 26 – 40 Count Small – 41+ count

Please call for counts available and prices.  

In deciding how much to buy, determine the size available, and how you plan to prepare. For example: Medium to small are best for boiling, casseroles, gumbo, creole, etc.; Jumbo to Large are best for grilling, BBQ, frying, etc.   

NOTE: Raw shrimp are usually purchased with the heads on.   Approximately 35% of weight will be lost when “headed”.   John will de-head your shrimp for .25 cents per pound. Please notify him ahead of time if you would like this service.
