Step 1
If the shrimp are frozen, thaw them. Run them under cold water or leave them in the refrigerator over night. You can also soak them in a bowl of cool water, changing it when it gets too cold.
-
Step 2
Shell the shrimp. Remove the legs and gently peel the shell apart from the middle. Leave the tail on.
-
Step 3
Use a knife, cut through the center of the shrimp. The cut should go almost all the way through, leaving just enough flesh to connect the two halves.
-
Step 4
Use your fingers to open up the shrimp. It should easily spread out flat.
-
Step 5
De-vein the shrimp. Remove the black strip in the middle, using either your fingers, a knife, or the tine of a fork.
-
Step 6
Rinse the shrimp off.
