    How to Peel and Devein Shrimp

    Although you can purchase peeled and deveined shrimp at the grocery store, you’ll save a couple of bucks if you do it yourself. Here’s how you do it: If the head is still attached, gently twist and remove it. Press your thumb underneath the shrimp where the legs are attached, and gently remove the shell and tail. Run a pairing knife along the back of the shrimp and pull out the gray vein.

    Fried Coconut Shrimp
