Review on 🦞 Ultimate Seafood Utensil set: Shrimp Deveiner, Seafood Scissors, Crab Leg Cleaner, Lobster Cracker - 3 Piece Kit by Nicole Cook

I LOVE these fish shears! I used to peel shrimp with a sharp paring knife, or in a pinch (usually outdoors and away from home) with a Leatherman Wave. A sharp knife can cut through the shell of the shrimp, and then you can get to the sandy vein. But with these scissors, you no longer have to worry about how deep you cut the shrimp. You simply place an appropriately curved blade at the top of the shrimp at the sand vein and then, after making a few snips, go all the way to the end to expose the sand vein (feeding chute) where it can be pulled out easily. Once the veins are removed from the shrimp, you're done; or if you are preparing shrimp with garlic sauce or any other dish that requires removing the shell, this is now easier to do by pulling on the top of the shell. These seafood scissors literally cut (pun intended) 2/3 the time it used to take me to remove the veins and clean the shrimp. By the way, if you're not using freshly caught shrimp that haven't been measured, do yourself a huge favor by buying shrimp that are 16 to 20 per pound (headless). The large size will help you avoid overcooking the shrimp and reduce your prep work in the kitchen. This is the only time you can splurge a little and be rewarded with results.
