count" means there will be 21 to 2& shrimp in a pound) 3i5e names, such as !large" or !extra
large," are not standardi5ed, so to get the si5e you want, order by the count per pound) .oth
wild-caught and farm-raised shrimp can damage the surrounding ecosystems when not managed
properly) 6ortunately, it is possible to buy shrimp that have been raised or caught with sound
environmental practices) 7ook for fresh or fro5en shrimp certified by an independent agency,
such as the 8arine 3tewardship 9ouncil) :f you can;t find certified shrimp, choose wild-caught
