Shrimp Sizes

The size of a shrimp is indicated by the count or number of shrimp per pound. The smaller the number, the larger the shrimp. Shrimp size terminology varies from place to place, so the count is the most accurate way to call for shrimp in a recipe. A basic guideline is: 11 to 15 is jumbo; 16 to 20 is extra large; 21 to 30 is large; 31 to 35 is medium and 36 to 45 is small.

Tastes really good, easier to make than I thought. I used Linguini pasta instead of rice. Worth making again.

I made this recepie and cut the lemon juice down to two Tablespoons. I had lime wedge on the side for personal taste. I could not find the Good Seasons Garlic & Herb but did use Good Seasons Italian dressing packet mix. Will make this again and again....and it is healthy as well. Thanks!

Great HIT! I read all of the reviews so for that reason I did not add the lemon juice. My huband is the biggest fan of lemon. I added 1 tsbp of jalapeno instead. I also added butter to the olive oil before adding the onion. DELICIOUS!!! My husband loved it. Spicy and buttery, what else can you ask for!??!!! I will definetely make this dish again!!!

This was a quick and easy recipe for shrimp scampi. My husband, children, and myself really enjoyed it. I wouldn't do anything differently. I had to increase the ingredients but that's only because I have a family of 6.

This dish was really good. I double the sauce because I poured it over bow tie pasta. Like the other comments, I agree with the amount of lemon juice you should put in it. 1/4 cup of lemon juice is way too much. I think 2 tablespoons of lemon juice would be just find. I will be making this dish again!
