How to Prepare Shrimp for Egg Rolls

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Laura Banford and I'm going to show you how to make shrimp egg rolls and with sesame noodles. Now we're going to prepare our shrimp for cooking. I have about 1/3 of a pound of these shrimp. They are already deveined but not peeled. It's going to be pretty quick. I just lay them on a cutting board all facing the same way. We don't want tails on these shrimp this time because we're going to dice them up. If you pull this way away from the body and past the legs of the shrimp, the shell should come right off. I'm going to continue to do that. If you do have to devein the shrimp, after you peel them, you just slice. Make a slit down just past the middle of the back of the shrimp. Slice it down and pull the middle of the back of the shrimp. Slice it down and pull the vein out. Of course, you'll want to rinse them. I'll do a few more. We might as will chop these up. You can just cook them whole, but I think we're going to put everything in one pan and keep adding to it. You might as well chop them up and cook them that way. Then you don't have to go back, reach in, and cut them when they're hot or in part of the developing filling for the egg rolls. I got these done. I'm going to rinse them and chop them up. When we come back, we're going to sauté our pork."
