    I read before that about every 3-4 shrimp is one ounce so I usually go by that but it may be wrong.

    http://nutritiondata.self.com/ Just type in shrimp and choose the most accurate description.
    Edit: don't make a sad face about getting your shrimp FRESH without a built in nutrition label! That's a GOOD THING.

    Shrimp size is measured by "count" - do you know the count of the shrimp? Medium shrimp is usually in the 41-50 count range, which means that there are 41-50 shrimp per pound. 20 shrimp would then be about half a pound, or 8oz.
