I got a good deal on some medium shell on raw shrimp at Walmart. It has the tail but no head or anything. How in the heck do I peel these things?

Thanks!

Make sure to do this when you have some time it takes a while but don't throw those shells away! I save mine in the freezer until I have about 4 or 5 cups then I make shrimp stock. It's so delicious. You can use it as a base for a wonderful butternut squash soup, hot and sour soup or to make risotto.

Good video Can Man.
Also, am assuming they are frozen? Just thaw slightly, they peel better when a bit icy.
enjoy,

Thanks so much you guys. It was funny when I checked out at Walmart the checkout woman was telling me how she always bought the other kind of shrimp cause she thought the color of the raw ones meant they were bad lol. She said arent you afraid of eating those things..they are the worst color. She goes they look like they are already spoiled. I said uh..Hon these are this color because they are raw. The pink ones are precooked which is why they are that color lol. It was so funny.
