breaded shrimp

Common coatings include tempura or crispy batter, classic crispy/crunchy breading, hand-breaded coatings, and coconut flake or coconut breading.

Packages commonly include sweet chili or sweet-chili-style sauces and orange or marmalade-style dipping sauces. Some products also include individual sauce packets.

Product details list both farm-raised and wild-caught shrimp. Reported origins include Thailand, the Gulf of Mexico, the United States and Indonesia; some labels state "Varies, please see label."

Packages are labeled variously as fully cooked (heat and serve), Prepared/Heat & Serve, ready-to-cook from frozen, or ready to bake and serve.

Counts and sizes vary by product. Commonly cited counts include about 31–35 finished shrimp per pound; some packages list 35–40 shrimp per bag and may include sauce packets. Reviews sometimes note that shrimp can appear smaller after cooking.
