How to Peel Shrimp
When I was little, I had no idea shrimp weren't readily available in their edible state. Sure, I knew you had to cook them, but I didn't realize that the heads, shells, and intestines were normally removed before consumption. I learned later, as a 20-year-old, how to properly peel the delicious shellfish. This is a skill every home cook should master, so I've put together an easy to follow step-by-step explanation. It can be applied to both raw and cooked shrimp. To get started, click the start button.

it's funny - cause when i was younger we would go to this place that had peel and eat shrimp, and i thought that i was really doing it all there since i was taking off the shell thing, and some other stuff. only was it when i got older and realized that there was a head and everything that was already taken off in preparation did i realize that maybe i don't like the idea of it anymore.
at least now i'm a veggie so i don't have to worry about it - but it's like the whole fish thing - i don't like to eat anything that has eyes and can see me - and even if it's dead i feel like it can see me.
1My father can peel shrimp with his teeth simply by swiping bits off of it while holding it in his chopsticks. I want that skill.
2I had to peel and de-vein thousands of shrimp as a kid (parents owned a Chinese restaurant and put me to work).
3I LOVE shrimp, but I prefer to buy them peeled and de-veined. Yummy!
4I was born a coona$$ (but I do not live in Louisiana anymore).. that is easy.
