1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

What to Do

Equally divide the shrimp among the skewers; place on a plate and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine remaining ingredients over medium heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add shrimp skewers and cook 2 minutes.

The number references the approximate count of shrimp to one pound. If the number is 20-30, then there would be 20-30 shrimp to a pound, and they would be larger than the 50-60 count. For skewers, I would always prefer the larger shrimp, so would go with the 20-30 count. The smaller are better for stir fries and gumbo or popcorn shrimp. Hope this helps

At the market there are numbers next to the shrimp...do you know what they mean? I think they might refer to the size but are not sure. What size would you think I should use for this recipe?
