Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Shrimp Cleaner
Customer Review: Cleaning Shrimp made Easy
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical when I first bought it.....my wife wouldn't even believe in it...Previously, we were reluctant to buy shrimp, because cleaning it with a knife is a hassle and takes a very long time. But, after cleaning a pound of shrimp with it, we are both convinced about the utility of this tool.
The Oxo shrimp cleaner takes a little while getting used and then is a breeze. The rubber grip gives a nice non-slip grip and feels pleasant in the hand....I strongly recommend getting it.
Customer Review: works well

This works well for cleaning shrimp, as advertised. I've cleaned 6-7 lbs of large shrimp so far and this makes it quick and easy. I don't know why people are so fussy about the construction being plastic - it is far more resilient than a shrimp's shell and should stand up to quite a bit of use unless you abuse it. A metal blade would probably lead to more mangled shrimp so it's just fine. I'm quite satisfied with the item and would have no issues recommending it to anyone.Customer Review: sure beats using your fingernails!

If you're preparing shrimp and hate deveining them, this is the tool to get. Not really "veins," the dark line on the outside of a shrimp is actually its digestive tract - so if you eat it, you're basically eating shrimp excrement. Put that in your cocktail sauce! Still, this is a delicate little cord that you don't want breaking up into pieces, but just yank out quickly and get on to the next shrimp. This tool does just that, and ergonomically fits your hand.Customer Review: Yeah baby...it's shrimptastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This OXO product is easy to use and because of the large soft handle, easy to hold. It seems sturdy enough to me, I don't really understand why some reviewers think that it's flimsy.
Just hold a de-headed shrimp under a slow drizzle of running cold water insert the tip into the "vein" and follow the curve around to the back of the tail. Slip off the shell with legs attached from the bottom and voila...shelled shrimp.
Customer Review: Shrimp-lover's right arm
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a card-carrying shrimpaholic. Before I found this gadget life for me was different. I would cut corners like skip the deveining (yuck, I can't believe I did that!) unless the shrimp or vein was pretty large. Everyone who has ever eaten shrimp knows how tedious shelling is. This little tool is revolutionary. In one small swoop the vein and shell is gone, leaving only the tip of the tail. No kitchen should be without it.
