In Shrimp Cocktail, players want to search the seas for matching shrimp for only when uniformly-sized shrimp are used in a dish does that dish taste its most exquisite. The shrimp on the cards have four characteristics – quantity, origin, size and color – and shrimp on different cards may share these characteristics. Whenever you catch a matching shrimp trait between the three fishing zones, act fast to squeeze the starfish so that you can haul in that catch and collect the cards.
