Abstract: A method for forming larger shrimp, seafood, and meat products from plural smaller products and the products of that method. A butterflied larger shrimp product formed from plural smaller food products can be created with a first child shrimp interposed between first and second butterfly halves of a mother shrimp. A peeled-round larger shrimp product formed from plural smaller products can be created with a distal end of a peeled-round mother shrimp joined to a proximal end of a peeled-round first child shrimp. In such a case, the joined ends of the mother and first child shrimp can be sloped at complementary angles. A shell-on larger shrimp product formed from plural smaller products can be created with a distal end of a shell-on mother shrimp joined to a proximal end of a shell-on first child shrimp.
