Hey Y’all! Welcome to some good ole, down home southern cooking. One unsuspecting beheaded shrimp and the tool of brilliance.Īs an Amazon Associate, Deep South Dish earns from qualifying purchases. (I am an Amazon junkie in case you didn't notice) Unlike many things that clutter up our kitchen space, this is one of those gadgets you'll find yourself reaching for time and time again if you're accustomed to cooking with fresh shrimp. I never knew! If you can't find one anywhere near you, Amazon has a shrimp peeler that is pretty darned close. Then one day I decided to give this odd thing that had been hanging out in my drawer a try.

I was used to simply hand peeling and then carefully using a paring knife to cut along the back of the shrimp to devein it. All I know for sure is that I did not buy it, and frankly I owned it FOREVER before I actually used it. Now this one down there in the picture, I think either my hubby picked it up on one of his shopping jaunts, or else I acquired it following the separation of 'that other relationship' - I truly do not know. Look how nicely it peels away the shell, while removing the vein at the same time. It sure does come in handy for when you are cooking with fresh shrimp and although I was a skeptic at first, it really does speed up the job and make it much easier. One of my most favorite gadgets has become a shrimp peeler. The American ones will be labeled - just look for it to say product of the U.S. Thank you for your support.

Not only are the Wild American and Gulf Fresh shrimp much better quality and fresher, they taste better and you are supporting fishermen and women in this great country and not some foreign country where heaven knows what their standards are anyway. They are struggling because of these imports - and trust me, if you knew how those imports were treated chemically, you'd never purchase another bag of frozen foreign seafood. of A., if it is at ALL possible for you to choose Wild American Shrimp, or Fresh Gulf Shrimp over those imported from some Asian country, PLEASE for all that is holy consider buying American and help our country's fishermen.
