Jumbo shrimp

Also called: Gambari waaweyn (Soomaali) · Grosses crevettes (Français) · روبيان جامبو (العربية)

What to look for

Raw shrimp should be firm and grey-translucent, smell of the sea and have no black spots or mushy heads. Most ‘fresh’ shrimp was frozen, so buying it frozen and shell-on is often better. 16/20 means 16 to 20 per pound.
