Salads with shrimp tend to sell for more than salads with other foods. Even with meat salads can be cheaper than dishes with shrimp in the composition. What justifies the costliness of salads with shrimp? The
fact is that shrimp themselves are an expensive product. They are quite difficult to process, extract and transport. Of course, now these processes have become easier. But, still, markups from customs and other resources make the seafood not cheap.
