Know your shrimp and their sizes.  Shrimp come from all over the World with some being much better than others.  Below is some information and what to look for when buying shrimp.  Never buy shrimp with sodium tripolyphosphates on them.  This process makes the shrimp retain water and when you cook them they may shrink up to 30%.
