Skrimp.

Eww.

It's very important to clean your meat.

Whether it be chicken, beef, fish, or shrimp.  As my sister and I call it, "skrimp."

Rinsing your meat disposes of any bone dust, dyes, or bacteria.

Using cool water is key.  Delicate meats, such as fish, crustaceans, or filleted items, will begin to cook rather than being cleansed if warm or hot water is used.  Warm water may also prove to be a breeding ground for bacteria.

In the case of shrimp, they must be de-veined.  Running along their belly and sometimes their back along the track of waste...or simply put, poop.  Take a sharp knife and run run it along its underside and it becomes easily removed.

I don't mind doing it, but when an eyeball is left, and a face is seen, or a part of their mustache is visible?  No thank you.  I'm not for that.
But I am about this.  Shrimp and Coconut Curry with Green Beans.  Don't be afraid to add more salt and your chosen form of heat, ie, jalepenos or chile.

  1. All black people from the south call them "skrimp" my cousins and i used to have a field day when my grandmother said it. But skrimp or prawns that have the faces on them are creepy ><
