People are so greedy for shrimp! For appetizer size portions, allow 3 ounces cooked, shelled, shrimp per person (tail on is OK but this is basically ready to eat). And this is kind of bare minimum. With this amount, it is a good idea to portion into clear acrylic cups or dishes, or skewer each serving, so everyone gets some. |

Basically, since the shrimps will add to the entree, start by allowing 2 tacos- 1 beef, 1 chicken- per person, total 80 shells. Use the baked potato bar for the toppings amounts,taco prep info on the tex mex taco page. For the rice and other side dishes, use 1/3 of the amount for 100. There is a page for dessert planning for 100. There is also one for salads, entrees and sides and another for beverages. Shrimps are one of those- "people will eat all you put out" things. Allow 3 ounces per adult, 1 pound for every 5 people |
