How To Prepare Shrimp

How To Prepare Shrimp

Shrimp are one of the favourite seafood's the world over. This recipe will show you how to shell and clean them with the least fuss and energy. All you need to know about preparing shrimps!


Step 1:

You will need:

  • 1 shrimp
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 pair of scissors
  • paper towel

Step 2:

Peel the shrimp

Begin by twisting off the head. Next, using the scissors, cut along the spine from the head to the tail, peel away the shell with your hands and gently pull the tail off.

Step 3:

Remove the vein

Look for the intestine, which is the dark vein that runs through the middle of the back. Carefully peel it away and wipe it onto the paper towel. Don't discard the head and tail. They add a great flavour to stocks and soups!

Step 4:

Use as needed

Your shrimp is now ready to be used in whatever dish you choose. Keep it covered and store in the fridge for 1-2 days if necessary.

    That's a pair of kitchen scissors you idiot. You'll find a pair in many cutlery sets.
