Cooking Tip
Keep Shrimp Fresh While Preparing
Keep shrimp fresh while preparing them by placing them in cold water and pulling them out one at a time to shell and de-vein, etc. Return cleaned shrimp to the ice water until ready to cook. Pat dry before using.

Cooking Tip
The Digestive Tract

The large black vein along the outer curve of the shrimp is the digestive tract. The vein is usually removed for appearance purposes, more than any affect on taste it might have.
