First shell the shrimp leaving the tail attached. Next insert a knife or kitchen shears about 3/4 of the way into the shrimp at the head region. Cut almost all the way through the flesh, down the center of the shrimp’s back and to the tail. Use your hands to open the flesh of the shrimp until it lies flat. Remove the vein with your fingers or the tip of a knife. Hold the shrimp under cold running water to rinse thoroughly.
