using a bowl of water. Be careful not to use hot water or any form of heat to thaw your
shrimps. Popping them into the microwave oven, for example, will partially cook them and
may cause them to toughen.

shelling. Take the head off first. Some recipes require that you keep the head and tail so take
note if there are any instructions like that in your recipe. You may then peel the shell off the
body of the shrimp, including the feet.

thin, black string located just beneath the skin on the back of the shrimp. You may a
professional deveiner for this task. But if you do not have such a tool, a regular knife will do.
All you need to do is to run a light cut across the back and pull out the string by the tip of the
knife or a plastic toothpick.
Some recipes require shrimps prepared in butterfly style. Do not worry because this is just
about a simple step of cutting across the back of the shrimp until it opens up and forms like a
butterfly.

many recipes involving shrimps. You may even substitute it for meat to make some recipes

unmistakable barbecued goodness.
