No, you're right, check the fork. Those are large pastries the size of small pastries.

Are they? Could be, I figured it was a smaller sized fork too. I'm just completely guessing from the serving sizes in the recipe, it doesn't mention anything special about the shrimp so I could easily be wrong. They look weird no matter what.

At 2 lbs making 6-8 servings of 6 each, that's a per pound count of ~18-24, putting these at Jumbo to Extra Jumbo for shrimp sizing.

So yeah, it's a small fork (note the three tines, that's a cocktail/appetizer fork) but these are also relatively large shrimp.

also, "colossal" "shrimp"? the concept is silly.

In case anyone is curious about what the numbers mean, that's the range for how many shrimps will be present in a pound, so smaller numbers mean larger shrimps. A 16/20 is a shrimp size where it will take 16-20 shrimps for a pound. A 61/70 is much smaller, since it will take 61-70 to make a pound. A U-10 means that under 10 shrimps will be necessary to make a pound, so they're enormous. The same system is used for scallops.

Very similar to the gauge system of measurement, where a pound of lead was divided into balls.

I like "Salad shrimp" or "shrimp meat", just a still, maggot like mass, and one bad one would ruin the bunch, they were the only thing that went bad before the "sell by" date when I worked the seafood counter. I remember opening tubs of them, and the good ones smelled strongly, and the bad ones reaked.

ACCIDENTAL SHIT POSTER


Something like 15 years ago, a local grocery store has it's entire refrigeration system fail somehow. They had to dumpster everything cold/frozen. Being young and broke a bunch of us went over to raid. Employees were there and just let us go nuts as they were tossing stuff.

One of the things we snagged were the biggest loving shrimp I've ever seen. Things were probably u4 at least. I wish I had pictures.

We ate like kings for a week on all the rad meat we pilfered.

İ don't think i ever posted this here! Behold, the most puzzling appetizer:

What we have here is 1 chunk grilled watermelon, 2 chunks raw zucchini, and one very large burrata pearl served on a skewer. The moment you ruptured the burrata it collapsed into a quivering heap of curds.

Bonus: this was served at a natural foods industry conference.

I don't believe in burrata as a food. There's just not a reasonable way to eat it, and it's a real wet cheese.

There isn't anything wrong with mozzarella, this was my lunch a few days ago:



I'll admit it was a lot more cheese than I needed but the container for the tiny balls of mozz said "eat it within two days you animal"
