re: Keeping Shrimp Fresh

I used to Shrimp and run Charters while I was in college as extra money. I can attest that shrimp will be fine for 48-72 hours if they are fresh off a day boat. The only heads up I'd give for fresh shrimp that haven't been frozen is that require LOTS of ice and turn quick. I would put a layer of ice on the bottom of the chest, then a layer of shrimp, ice, then shrimp again until you finish with a thick layer of ice on top.
I'm not positive about offshore shrimping but I'm fairly certain that fresh off a big, offshore trawler usually means they've been shrimping long enough to require their catch be flash frozen on board so obviously just keep those frozen. My understanding is that almost all offseason shrimp have been harvested and treated this way and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Next, you should definitely pick me up 20lbs

This. You can see it in the shrimps eyes and can essentially tell their time out of water in 24 hour time increments by the color of their eyes. 3 days is about the max you want to keep them out for maximum freshness. Quite often in the grocery stores around S Louisiana you'll find them ranging in the 3-6 day range.
