Nothing mars the presentation of pearly pink shrimp more than unsightly black veins, which are in fact not veins at all, but the alimentary canals of the shrimp. Now anyone who paid any attention at all in junior high biology knows that an alimentary canal is not high on the list of good things to eat. Get rid of them easily and efficiently with this specialized tool.The sharp, square teeth of the shrimp cleaner by Oxo remove the shell and devein the shrimp in one easy motion, eliminating the need to peel even the smallest shrimp. Insert the ridged shrimp cleaner into the end of the shrimp and pull.
The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handles put less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. –Laurie Notaro

I am a card-carrying shrimpaholic. Before I found this gadget life for me was different. I would cut corners like skip the deveining (yuck, I can’t believe I did that!) unless the shrimp or vein was pretty large. Everyone who has ever eaten shrimp knows how tedious shelling is. This little tool is revolutionary. In one small swoop the vein and shell is gone, leaving only the tip of the tail. No kitchen should be without it.

If you’re preparing shrimp and hate deveining them, this is the tool to get. Not really “veins,” the dark line on the outside of a shrimp is actually its digestive tract – so if you eat it, you’re basically eating shrimp excrement. Put that in your cocktail sauce! Still, this is a delicate little cord that you don’t want breaking up into pieces, but just yank out quickly and get on to the next shrimp. This tool does just that, and ergonomically fits your hand.

The Oxo shrip tool allowed me to prepare approxamately 5 pounds of tiger prawns in half the time it would normally take. The comfortable grip allowed me to work quicker and longer, while the thin yet sharp blade made removing shell and deveining a cinch. Bravo to Oxo!!

I bought 2 of these for a party my friend and I were going to throw. We peeled and deveined 12lbs of shrimp in less time that I thought it would. This gadget takes some getting used too, I mangled the first 3-4 shrimps I tried, but it was smooth sailing after that. I would definitely recommend this product!

I love shrimp but don’t like the pre-peeled, frozen variety.
Shrimp shells yield a wonderful broth for seafood dishes.
I get my shrimp fresh from ethnic stores.
So, the OXO shrimp cleaner really does reduce the 3 steps
in shrimp cleaning to 1.5. The 0.5 is for the fastidious
in me that wants to get every little bit of the vein (or digestive
tract – yuck) out. I also remove the vein on the underside.
Sigh! Shrimp cleaning is big work but this little contraption
really helps.
