*Remove shells from shrimp while rinsing under cold running water. With a sharp paring knife make a slit about 1/4 inch deep all the way down the center of their outer side, and remove the dark intestinal vein. (This isn't harmful if eaten, but it's unappetizing.) Allow about 20 minutes to prepae 1lb shrimp.
