Answer:
It is an oxymoronic phrase.
cus life's like a box o' chocolates....
cuz real shrimp are like small
So we can charge an extra $3 without adding more food to the plate.
Because they are bigger than regular shrimp.
Since u order Chinese food gongbao shrimp u would have known jumbo.

For the same reason that jumbo jets because they are bigger. Why do they call an aubergine an eggplant when eggs come from birds not plants? People are funny that way.
