How many lbs shrimp is equal to 48 jumbo shrimp?
There are usually numbers that describe the size of shrimp. These numbers tell you approximately how many shrimp are in one pound. The larger the shrimp, the fewer it takes to make a pound. Ask the seller where you plan to buy the shrimp what the "count" of the shrimp is for the size you want. They can tell you how many shrimp will be in one pound. The largest shrimp I've purchased were (10-16) size. That meant there were from 10 to 16 shrimp in one pound. If you buy that type of shrimp, you'd need about 4 or 5 pounds to be sure you had 48 shrimp.

How many shrimp in a ounce?
There are different sizes of shrimp - this cannot be answered with any precision. It depends on the size of the shrimp. Shrimp are classified by "U" (U10-12, U20-25, etc). This refers to the number of shrimp per pound. If you bought a bag of frozen shrimp, it should be marked somewhere on the outside. If you bought them at a meat/fish market, they should be able to tell you. Four ounces equals a quarter pound. So if you have U-20 shrimp (20 per pound) then divide by 4 and you get 5, the number of U-20s in a quarter pound. If you have U-30s, then you have 7-8 per pound.
