What does 16/20 mean on these shrimp?

It is the count per pound: about 16 to 20 shrimp in a pound. Larger numbers mean smaller shrimp, so these are on the bigger side.

Are the shrimp peeled and deveined?

Yes. They come peeled and deveined with the tail left on, which is typical for coconut shrimp.

How should I cook them?

Oven baking or deep frying both work. Fry at a steady high heat so the coconut breading crisps without soaking up oil, or bake on a rack for even browning.

Do they contain coconut and wheat?

The breading is shredded coconut, so coconut is present, and breaded shrimp usually contain wheat and possibly egg. Check the package allergen list before serving to guests.

What do I serve with coconut shrimp?

A sweet-tangy dip such as pineapple or orange marmalade balances the sweet coating. They also work over rice or in a salad.

How many shrimp are in the bag?

At 16 to 20 per pound in a 2.5 pound bag, expect roughly 40 to 50 shrimp, depending on how the count falls.

Our take on the King and Prince Coconut Breaded Shrimp - 16/20, 2.5 Pound

Mrs. Friday's King and Prince Coconut Breaded Shrimp are peeled, deveined, tail-on shrimp in a shredded coconut breading. The 16/20 count means roughly 16 to 20 shrimp per pound, so they run large and give a firm bite. They are built for oven or fryer prep as an appetizer or dinner main, and the sweet coconut crust is the selling point against plain breaded shrimp. Buyers who want restaurant-style coconut shrimp at home tend to like them; those watching added sugar or breading heaviness may not.
