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.

Although shrimp cook very quickly sometimes you can undercook your shrimp. Perfectly cooked shrimp are opaque white with pink accents.
