Eight medium shrimp seems to be a very small amount for 4 dinner servings. Are these proportions really correct?

Would be great if you provided the nutritional values with your recipes, there are ooodles of recipes that claim to be light & healthy that truly aren't.

I made this salad for my friend and I for lunch the other day - we used 12 "medium size" shrimp and it was great; if I was eating this for supper, I would use more shrimp. I also toasted my coconut which made a world of difference - very, very good.
