Cleaning prawns and shrimps made easy!
Follow the step by step instructions.
1. What you see here is a shrimp. The first thing to do is, remove the head off by slightly twisting it. It's quite easy!
2. Next, you can see a sharp pointy thing with its tails (It's called Telson). Carefully cut it off with a sharp knife.
3. Shrimp has to be deveined, which means you need to remove the thin intestinal vein that runs across its back. Using a very sharp knife (or a pair of kitchen scissors) cut a very gentle slit on its back. Carefully draw the vein out.
4. You can see the removed vein by the side of the cleaned shrimp. Voila!! Ready to cook :)
Notes:
*If you do not like to cook with the shell on, you can go ahead and remove the shell. Carefully begin from its back where you made a cut. You will probably find it easy afterwards.
