Next remove the tail. Hold the tail like you did the head, in between your thumb and index finger. With the same sort of quick twisting motion, remove the tail. Throw away.

I LOVE shrimp, but I prefer to buy them peeled and de-veined. Yummy!

I had to peel and de-vein thousands of shrimp as a kid (parents owned a Chinese restaurant and put me to work).

My father can peel shrimp with his teeth simply by swiping bits off of it while holding it in his chopsticks. I want that skill.

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.
