I buy a regular size bag of Kroger "salad" or "popcorn" shrimp, the small ones. I then cut each into four or five pieces, and cut up a couple of hundred like this. Then I put them in a plastic cup, add water and lots of salt (about as much salt as water), and let them sit in the regrigerator over night. Then I rinse them off, and store in a small Ziplock Snack Bag, the smallest size. I've tried all sorts of ways to store them, but the small bags are the best. You can easily keep 300+ pieces in one of these bags. Each Kroger bag makes hundreds and hundreds of shrimp. I've gotten as many as 1,000 when I cut them small, but I don't recommend this. A friend made the season one year on one Kroger bag, for less than $5.00. Just keep the salted shrimp bits in the regriferator and they will last forever. But...the fish take them so fast you might be surprised how quick they go!
