ChefUse a small pair of kitchen shears. Cut at the back of the shrimp, starting with where its head connects with its body. Cut along the spine of the shrimp until you get to the end of the tail. Once you're done, the tail should fall off. Peel the shell off the shrimp, then snip off its antennas. If you're prepping a lot of shrimp all at once, just cut off the backs of all the shrimp and start peeling. If you cut and then peel each shrimp one at a time, it'll be a very time-consuming process. -
QuestionHow do I prepare frozen shrimp for sauteing?
Community AnswerThaw the shrimp by submerging the whole frozen bag in cold water. (Don't let the water get warm - keep replacing it if it begins to come to room temperature.) The shrimp should thaw in about 30 minutes or sooner. Then you can peel, de-vein, and take the tail off the shrimp if necessary. Get your saute pan hot, season your shrimp, and add to the pan. Shrimp are cooked when they turn pink. If you are going to saute some vegetables with the shrimp, then saute the vegetables first before adding the shrimp as the shrimp will cook very quickly. -
