You don't get it. It has nothing to do with the number of shrimp. It
has everything to do with the size of the shrimp in each breaded
shrimp (i.e., the amount of shrimp compared to the amount of breading
and the size of the shrimp compared to the size of the breading).
Another way of putting it: Suppose you ordered a hot dog in a bun - a
hot dog bun of usual size- and when you got it you found that the hot
dog inside the bun was only about as large as you little finger. Get
the picture? Or do you need a 100 page dissertation. The product was
no good. Anyone with a minimum of intelligence would return the
product and get a refund.
