Preparing the Shrimp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting Shrimp ready for cooking can be a little bit finicky, especially if you are using whole Shrimp. For our Crispy Tempura Shrimp dish, the Shrimp need to be peeled and deveined. This is a relatively easy process, but it just takes a little bit of time and patience. To remove the shell, simply pull away the shell from the legs outwards, it will come off (usually in pieces), so just keep going until it\u2019s all gone. The head is removed by simply twisting it then pulling it away

We recommend keeping the tail on the Shrimp. This will help keep the shape of the Shrimp when it cooks and gives a nice visual look to the dish. One thing about deep fried food is sometimes it can be a little tricky to tell what it is. By leaving the tail on, this will unmistakably look like a Fried Shrimp!

Now, deveining the Shrimp can be tricky. The \u2018vein\u2019 is that black line that runs up the back of the Shrimp. This is the intestinal tract of the Shrimp, otherwise known more affectionately as the \u2018poop shoot\u2019. You don\u2019t want to be eating it! You can easily remove it by finding one end that is sticking out of the Shrimp where the head was. Squeeze it tightly using the side of a knife and your thumb in one hand and then pulling it out

It\u2019s one of those things that\u2019s best demonstrated in a video instead of writing. So, we created a simple YouTube video here<\/a> showing you how to easily remove the vein from your Shrimp
