How Much Shrimp for 2 Adults

You’ve seen those labels: “16/20” or “U/10.” That’s the count per pound. Fewer numbers = bigger shrimp. For two adults, I’d suggest medium to large shrimp, like 21/25 or 16/20. You get a nice bite, they’re easy to cook, and you can actually count them out.

Fun comparison: If you were eating goldfish crackers, a half-pound would be about the size of a small bag for a road trip. A whole pound? That’s a family-sized box you’d share at a movie night. Shrimp are just fancier, ocean-friendly goldfish.

But wait — shell-on vs. peeled changes everything.

Shell-on shrimp weigh more because of the shells. So a pound of shell-on gives you roughly 10 to 12 ounces of actual meat after peeling. If you’re buying peeled, that pound is pure, ready-to-eat goodness.

So for two people with shells on: buy 1.25 to 1.5 pounds. That ensures you’ll have enough after all that peeling. Nobody wants a tiny shrimp dinner because of shell math.
