Shrimp are actually grouped by size. When you see a 16/20 on a frozen bag of shrimp, it means there are between 16-20 per pound. So in general, how many shrimp per pound would depend entirely on the size of the shrimp in question.
It depends on the shrinp size... Shrimp per pound:
• 10 shrimp or less = Colossal
• 11 to 15 = Jumbo
• 16 to 20 = Extra-large
• 21 to 30 = Large
• 31 to 35 = Medium
• 36 to 45 = Small
• about 100 = Miniature
That all depends on the size of the shrimp. Small shrimp for human consumption are usually 40-60 per pound, medium shrimp are 20-35 per pound, and large shrimp are approximately 10-16 per pound. Prawns are the largest and are 4-6 per pound.
High-heat method: (barbeque/pan fry) 250 gm (approx) Low-heat: (steamer/gentle braise/poach) 400 gm (approx) Internal temperature must reach 70C
Carrots do not swell or shrink when cooked. So 1 cup of raw carrot is the same as 1 cup cooked carrot.
The IE pair in yield has a long E sound. It rhymes with field and peeled.
A 3 pound lobster will yield 3 pounds of meat.

Edible portion refers to the amount that can actually be eaten, after trimming and cooking. For example, 1 pound of raw ground beef will not give you one pound of cooked ground beef; some of that weight will be lost in the cooking process as moisture and fat cook out. 1 pound (16 oz) of raw ground beef will yield about 13 oz of cooked ground beef.
A pound of soybeans will yield about 20% of oil by weight, or 3.2 ounces.
One pound of dry pasta equals 2.5 pounds of cooked pasta.
Three medium potatoes equal about 1 pound. One pound of potatoes will yield 3 cups peeled and sliced; 2 1/4 cups peeled and diced; 2 cups mashed; or 2 cups of french fries. (Answer found on North Carolina Potato Association website)
if i knew i would not have to ask
It depends if the rice is cooked or uncooked, as cooked rice will contain a lot of water and be more dense than uncooked rice. A pound of uncooked rice will yield about 3 times as many cups once it has been cooked than before it was cooked, but will also weigh more than three pounds. A cup of pure water (8 fluid ounces) weighs about 8.34+ ounces (weight), so 2 cups of water would weigh about 16.69 ounces or 1.043 pounds. Which means a pound of water yields 1.918 cups. (at 4 degrees Celsius) The density of water is 1,000 kilograms per cubic meter. The density of rice (hulled) is approximately 753 kilograms per cubic meter. So a pound of uncooked rice, being less dense than water, should yield approximately 2.55 cups. Once cooked that same pound of rice (at a ratio of 2 cups water to one cup rice) would weigh almost 3.66 pounds. Assuming no water is lost during cooking. Assuming my math is correct, it may not be. It is not possible to accurately calculate the number of cups this will yield - but it is likely to be about 6 cups or more. One needs to cook a pound of rice and measure the volume.

When you see the word yield in cooking recipes, it means to give way or amount to. If a recipe says it will yield 4 dozed, that means the recipe will produce 4 dozen of the item such as rolls, cookies, etc.
