                                The weight of a single big shrimp is not standardized, with 'big' typically referring to the market terms 'Colossal' or 'Super Colossal'. For instance, a Super Colossal shrimp weighs approximately one ounce (28.3 grams) or more, while a Colossal shrimp is slightly smaller, averaging about 0.75 ounces (21 grams). These weights are derived from the 'count per pound' sizing system commonly used in the seafood industry.
