Casey Barber What Type of Shrimp Should I Use? Look for 21-30 count peeled and deveined raw shrimp. The best way to buy shrimp is by the number needed to make 1 pound. For example, "21-30 count" means 21 to 30 shrimp will be in a pound. Frozen shrimp is a convenient option. When ready to use frozen shrimp, thaw them under cold running water and pat them dry before cooking.
