If you think precooked shrimp tastes tough and rubbery, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to prepare your own peel and eat shrimp. Shrimp is a delicate shellfish that can become rubbery and tasteless when overcooked. That's why it's a delicacy often best prepared at home.
Ideally, choose fresh or frozen raw shrimp with the vein along the back already removed. Removing it yourself with a sharp knife isn't difficult, but it can be time consuming if you're prepping a pound of shrimp or more.
Directions for Preparing a Pound of Peel and Eat Shrimp
Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp (any size larger than bay shrimp works fine) 20 peppercorns 1 large bowl of crushed ice or ice water Cocktail sauce Lemon
Directions
Rinse shrimp in cold water and refrigerate. Pour two bottles of beer into a large pot. You can use almost any type of beer you like, but more flavorful varieties like dark beers impart stronger flavor to the shrimp. Add about 20 whole peppercorns and bring the beer to a full boil on medium heat. Place the shrimp into the boiling beer being careful not to overcrowd them. Boil shrimp until they turn pink. This should take about two minutes. Don't overcook. Remove shrimp with a strainer or spider and place them immediately into the bowl of crushed ice or ice water for 15 minutes or until completely cool. Arrange shrimp on a bed of lettuce with wedges of lemon and a bowl of cocktail sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes: Prepare the freshest shrimp you can find. If frozen, make sure to avoid partial thawing during transport from the store to your kitchen.
When ready to prepare, thaw frozen shrimp completely, but avoid holding them in your fridge any longer than you have to. Overnight thawing for use the next day is ideal.
Chilling shrimp right from the pot is an essential step because it reduces the chance of overcooking by stopping the cooking process immediately.

What is the black line inside a blood worm?
The black "vein" is merely the shrimp's intestinal tract. It contains food -- in shrimp, that would be plankton -- in various stages of digestion. This part of the shrimp is completely harmless and edible. Removing the tract from the shrimp is time-consuming, tedious, and truly pointless. Plus, it is virtually impossible to remove every bit of it, and some pieces are going to remain. If you absolutely must remove it, here is how to do it: Cook and shell the shrimp, peel a back strip down to the tail revealing the dark line, and use a small, sharp knife to remove the tract. If you want to enjoy shrimp and just cannot bear the tract nor want to go to the unnecessary trouble of removing it, then make -- or order -- shrimp tempura (shrimp covered in batter and deep fried). You can also prepare or order shrimp that has not been shelled. Cooking shrimp in a wok with lots of vegetables will take attention away from that black line. There are also a number of scrumptious shrimp dishes made with sauces, from Italian scampi to the classic Japanese shrimp sauce. Here is a wondeful recipe for a sauce that is easy and quick
