Based on the fact that the original recipe called for 1 ¹ /₄ cups of gulf shrimp and the ingredients have to be increased proportionally, the Gulf Shrimp needed for the new recipe is 3 cups.

How much Gulf Shrimp is needed?

First, find the measure of increase in the number of people being served by the new recipe:

= 12 / 5

= 2.4 times

The Gulf Shrimp is to be increased proportionally which means that the increase will be:

= 1 ¹ /₄ x 2.4

= 3 cups
