Sure it does... in fact raw shelled shrimp weeps about 20pct of it's
weight just sitting in the fridge for 24 hours... and when tossed into
the deep fryer just what do you think all that bubbling is about. And
unless it's pretty small shrimp it's gonna need more than a minute to
cook, and the smaller the shrimp the more moisture is lost. Face it,
you're just too miserly to buy normal amounts of food.
