Norpro Shrimp/ Prawn Peeler / Deveiner, Red

Product Information

The best shrimp deveiner can peel, remove the vein, and butterfly the shrimp for a beautiful presentation all in one easy motion (more on this in a minute) If you are working with small to medium shrimp, you can forgo the deveining. A teeny digestive tract means you probably won’t taste anything amiss. And they’d be far too fiddly to devein without mangling the flesh anyway.

Simple operation makes it easy to get a rhythm going, which is great if you’re trying to process a lot of shrimp simultaneously.

To use it, you place a whole shrimp in the compartment on top and pull the lever. An internal blade splits the shell and cuts out the vein for easy removal. A. Short answer. No. Once a shrimp tail is cooked, the vein loses elasticity and becomes brittle, so there’s no way to pull it out. If you’re going to devein, do it while your shrimps are raw. So, once it hits a heat source, it will curl up into a butterfly shape for a beautiful presentation ideal for any dish, whether appetizer, entree, pasta or salad.

Designed for lease in the U.S. for restaurants, seafood markets, and other food service operations with limited floor space Our mission is to empower you to find the product you’re looking for and get exactly the information you need to make the right buying decision. Very safe. The ‘blade’ is made of plastic, so there are no sharp metal parts to stab or cut the unwary user. Even worse is the sandy or gritty texture you can find in your mouth having eaten a shrimp that hasn’t been deveined. And no sauce or dressing can cover this up. But, Is It Really Necessary? OXO is a well-known and widely respected kitchen tool manufacturer, and it doesn’t disappoint with the Good Grips shrimp peeler. It features a single blade design that can perform three functions in one: peeling, deveining, and butterflying. The blade is attached to the handle where the product’s name comes from. It’s made from a soft rubber that provides a high level of grip, even when the peeler is wet. The handle is also ergonomically designed to fit better in your palm.

The Norpro shrimp peeler is one of the more unique options you can buy because it doesn’t look like a standard shrimp peeler and deveiner. Instead of a single blade approach, this tool looks like a pair of scissors, except with curved blades. Don’t be put off by this different design, though. The blades are curved to fit the natural shape of the shrimp shell and the blades are sharp enough to cut through any shrimp’s shell. Some inspection of machine peeled shrimp is usually desirable and inspection of the output of the compact machine is not considered a full time job. In all cases, a well a trained staff with some experience is assumed and shrimp is readily available or is being supplied to the peelers. You could even end up with little cuts and lacerations on your hands, having peeled and deveined a couple of kilos of hard-shelled shrimp.

Its unique design makes it the most accurate and user-friendly deveiner at the minute. That is, of course, until some genius comes up with something else.

Best Shrimp Peeler Buyer’s Guide

If you’re cooking large shrimp, it’s always best to devein. Your guaranteeing they’ll look and taste great. To use it, slide it halfway along the tail, between the shell and meat. Then push the shrimp along the blade, and off pops the shell, vein and all. Leaving a beautifully butterflied shrimp ready to be cooked. Sometimes, you’ll come across a rogue shrimp that doesn’t taste quite right and can have a slightly bitter, sour, or muddy taste.
