How many prawns in a pound?

The number of prawns in a pound can vary significantly based on their size. Typically, larger prawns, such as those classified as "U10" (under 10 prawns per pound), may yield about 10 prawns per pound, while smaller sizes, like "30/40" (30 to 40 prawns per pound), can have 30 to 40 prawns in the same weight. It's essential to check the size classification when purchasing prawns to determine how many you can expect per pound.
