The only accurate way to size shrimp is by "count" per weight.

When shrimp are breaded there is no way to determine size... all you
can do is buy a package of breaded shrimp by weight, which includes
the shrimp plus the breading.... similarly shimp size cannot be
determined for cooked shrimp, size can only be determined for raw in
the shell shrimp.
