Size and weight are important, but shrimp cook amazingly fast. I usually prefer smaller shrimp (16 -18 per pound) and larger scallops. Larger scallops take more time, smaller scallops take less time, but don't compete, in my opinion, with the swiftness at which shrimp will finish cooking.
BTW, the plural of shrimp is "shrimp."

Can you cook raw shrimp and raw chicken together?
That would not be a good idea. If you start the chicken first and get it almost completely cooked and then add the shrimp, you would be okay. If you start them at the same time, the shrimp will be terrible overdone and rubbery. If you pull the shrimp out as soon as it is done, it will be contaminated by the still raw chicken.

How long do you steam shrimp?
A simple guide to cooking shrimp:small - medium sized shrimp will take 3 - 4 minuteslarge shrimp will take 5 - 8 minutesjumbo shrimp or large prawns will need 7 - 8 minutes cooking timeWhen the shrimp have turned pink in color they are cooked.It might seem weird, but shrimp cook fast. Think about how fast something very small cooks. If you have a piece of meat the size of a thimble and you put it in boiling water it will cook in seconds. Now if you put a piece in the size of a footbal it would take much longer. It's the same principle how long it takes to cook a thick burger and a thin burger. Think how long it would take to cook meat the size of peas. It would cook as soon as it hit the water.If you put s 25-30 count shrimp into boiling water the inside of the shrimp will become very hot in a few seconds. So you aren't cooking the meat like boiling muskrats. It only has to reach high temperature.So experiment. Take a shrimp and dip it into a pot of boiling water and see if a small shrimp won't become very hot in a minute. For a large shrimp it might take 3 minutes. But the thing is having boiling water that when the shrimp are dumped in it doesn't lower the water temperature. If you dump five pounds of shrimp into one gallon of boiling water it will take 20 minutes to cook.
