re: Best shrimp size for boiling?

But when I buy shrimp, I usually buy 50-100 pounds of 21-25. Best all around.

Same here. I usually run to the Westwego Seafood Lot with an ice chest when shrimp are in season and I too prefer the 21-25 size for the most part.

I really don't like to go smaller but will go larger, especially if making BBQ shrimp in the oven in that rich sauce that is great for dipping fresh French bread into. That is when I usually get the 11-15's.
