Mom Money-Saving Tip 103

shrimp / 16-20 per pound

Cooked, peeled shrimp almost always cost more than uncooked, unpeeled shrimp.  So you can save money by doing the cooking and peeling yourself.  Also, you are less likely to overcook the shrimp since you will be cooking it only once.  A shrimp stir-fry dish, for instance, will taste fresher when you start with raw shrimp.  If the shrimp are already cooked, add them to the dish at the last moment so they don’t get overcooked.
