Shrimps HLSO 16/20 from Vietnam refers to a specific commercial grade of high-quality, large-sized shrimp often exported for the restaurant and retail markets.
Here is a breakdown of what those specifications mean:
The SpecificationsHLSO (Headless, Shell-On): The heads have been removed, but the shell and tail remain intact. This is often preferred by chefs because the shell protects the meat during high-heat cooking (like grilling) and helps retain moisture and flavor.
16/20 (Size Count): This indicates the number of shrimp per pound. A 16/20 count means there are between 16 and 20 shrimp per pound. These are classified as "Extra Jumbo" or "Colossal" in many markets.
