How much shrimp do I need for a party of 20 people?

If you're purchasing frozen raw shrimp to cook, you'll want between half a pound and a pound per person, so you'll need to buy 10 to 20 pounds. If your shrimp is already cooked, about a third of a pound to a half pound per person is plenty. In this case, you'd need to buy 7 to 10 pounds. Don't forget to consider how you plan to serve the shrimp. If it's a part of a buffet with plenty of other protein or seafood options, you may get away with serving a little less, but if it's your main course, more is always better. You'd rather have leftovers than let your guests leave hungry.
