Barb, you are the only person I know who might have an answer for me....
IF you have some good sized head-on shrimp, is there a way to devein them without dismanteling the whole thing?
I saw some fresh shrimp (well, to be honest, the ones I saw today were probably fresh about 4 days ago...passed on purchase today) with the heads on. I'd like to do one of those Louisianna BBQ Shrimp meals. But I know from experience that I much prefer if I remove the vein in the back. I just wasn't sure if it's possible to slit the back to remove the vein without the head & shell falling off when I cook them.
Thoughts?
