Then, starting at the head end, go underneath, where the legs are attached, and peel away the legs and shell.If you'd like to leave the tail on, go ahead. Otherwise, holding on to the body of the shrimp, remove the tail with a gentle tug.Lay the shrimp down and, using a paring knife, cut along the middle of the shrimp's back to reveal the vein. Try not to cut too deeply, and pull out the thin gray vein.For tail-on shrimp, remove the shell as instructed above, but leave the last segment attached, then devein.Rinse and pat dry the shrimp before adding to your favorite recipe.
