A shrimp tray having a raised, circular, outer rim, a first annular surface extending downwardly from the outer rim toward the center of the tray and a central recessed area. The first annular surface includes a lower portion that defines a plurality of drain holes. The tray is preferably made from a single sheet of material having a uniform thickness. A plurality of shrimp are nested relative to each other on the first annular surface with their tail ends overhanging the circular outer rim of the tray and their forward ends preferably contacting an annular wall. An annular spacer member may be provided to increase the diameter of the tray. Additional annular surfaces may be provided for serving additional layers of shrimp.

[ I claim:] [1.] A shrimp serving tray, comprising:an annular surface having an inner periphery and an outer periphery, the inner periphery radially inward of the outer periphery;an outer rim raised above and disposed around the outer periphery of the annular surface;an annular wall projecting upwardly from the inner periphery of the annular surface, wherein the annular surface extends from the annular wall to the outer rim; anda plurality of shrimp that have been cooked, peeled and deveined tail-on, each one of said plurality of shrimp having a side, a forward end, and a tail;wherein the plurality of shrimp are circumferentially nested relative to each other, with their sides resting on the annular surface, their forward ends arranged toward the annular wall, and their tails arranged toward the outer rim;wherein each one of the plurality of shrimp is entirely radially outward of the annular wall and prevented from moving radially inward of the inner periphery of the annular surface by the annular wall;wherein the width of the annular surface measured radially corresponds to the length of the plurality of shrimp on the tray such that the forward ends rest proximate to the annular wall and the tails rest proximate to the outer rim such that the shrimp may be easily removed from the tray by grasping the tails; andwherein the annular surface is sloped toward the inner periphery from the outer periphery and has a lower portion for receiving water from the plurality of shrimp.
