Tip 2
How to Butterfly Shrimp
Peel and devein shrimp by cutting about three fourths of the way into the flesh, without cutting all the way through along its outer curve just deep enough to see the vein. Peel back the shell under running water, loosening the vein with your fingers. Lay the peeled shrimp on a flat surface and flatten it open.
Tip 3
Creative Leftovers
Leftover papaya mayo or roasted red pepper mayo is delicious on sandwiches or as a salad dressing. Try it as a dip with cut up fresh vegetables!
Tip 4
Use Your Oven
Toast coconut; cool and mix with allspice. Dip shrimp into egg; shake off excess. Coat with toasted coconut. Place shrimp on parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Bake at 400°F 10 to 12 min.
