Good Grips Shrimp Deveiner | Stainless Steel Blade, Peels and Deveins Shrimp, Plastic Guard for Protection, Non-Slip Grip, Dishwasher Safe

I was the tiniest bit skeptical - not about the brand but about the tool. However, it works just as promised and we really like it. It really makes a rather messy little chore a lot easier. Quality of kitchen-life, especially when handling several pounds at a time. One note - we haver tried it on really small shrimp, only on bigger ones. As with many OXO things, it is comfortable to use.

I've been using a bird-beak paring knife to clean shrimp for the past few years because it seemed to work the best. I'd tried the fork-tine hack, but that just crumpled the delicate shrimp meat. But, there was always a caution using the knife because the slippery and wet shrimp, didn't want to have an accident and get cut. I saw this tool on Amazon and the reviews made a lot of sense, both ease of use and safety-wise. I got it and wow, WHY didn't I know about this sooner? This well-designed and easy to use tool makes taking the shell off shrimp so easy and less damaging to the shrimp meat. The metal tip easily allows me to access the end of the vein. I learned a great method to pull out the vein intact: you straighten the shrimp in your hand, then grasp the end of the vein at the head end, and gently pull it straight out - it usually comes out in one long piece that way. Sometimes it breaks, but most of the time this works well. This tool also allows me to clean shrimp much faster than I did with the bird-beak knife. I also discovered another use for this tool - for using oranges in fruit salads, jellos, pies, popsicles, etc., I don't like having the skin that covers each section of orange. After peeling an orange, I pull apart the slices, and now they look like shrimps. I run this tool across the top of the section and cut it open, and that skin just unwraps from the section, and exposes any seeds to remove, and leaves you with all the juicy tender orange pieces to use. I'm sure I'll find more good uses for this tool, but it is handy, well-made and comfortable to hold. The rubbery grip also keeps it from slipping in your hand. Great tool!

This tool is so easy to use and effective that I am absolutely shocked I’ve gone so long without it!!! I ordered this when a different shrimp cleaning item got lost in transit. I’m a huge fan of Oxo (just check my kitchen drawer!) and took the leap when I saw it was available. I put it to work on two pounds of shrimp as soon as it was delivered and it was brilliant. The task was done in no time at all and I didn’t once worry about cutting myself as I do with a paring knife. It is well made, easy to use and clean, and not as pricey as other deveining tools.

I've been cooking as a hobby since I was a teenager. Seafood is one of my favorites. I have always used a paring knife to clean my shrimp. The shrimp knife is a better design. How could you possibly cut yourself with it? It works well and you could save time. I would even say it could be safe for children to use. The simplistic design is great and it isn't expensive at all.

This is a great tool to have for a seafood lover like me.

Up until now I've mostly bought fresh already cleaned shrimp, but there was a good sale on, so I bought the uncleaned shell-on variety last week. I had forgotten what a time-consuming pain the butt job the cleaning, deveining job was. Also, the deveining needs to be carefully done if using a knife. I noticed that the same jumbo size shrimp, even after cleaning them at home, were bigger and more plump than those already cleaned by the fishmonger. My thinking was that when the shell-on shrimp got close to their 'sell by' date, the seafood guys would clean them and folks would buy them (as I had done many times) for convenience. Fresh is always better, so I looked at shrimp cleaning and deveining tools. This OXO tool is a winner with a hidden blade, so there's less chance of injuring yourself than many of the other choices which may save you a small amount of time at the risk cutting yourself.

There are many options out there for deveining and for shelling shrimp. Many seem to require multiple tools and are overly complicated. Thank goodness for OXO. For whole shrimp, remove the head by knife or hand, then simply slice this tool down the back. It opens up the shell for removal and fully exposes the vein. Just grab it with your finger. Having the water running is helpful. Great, well designed tool.

I’m not sure if it is the handle or what but does not feel easy to use

High quality

Works very well, we cleaned and peeled a large number of shrimp in a shorter amount of time. One cut shell and deveined (in one motion). The other removed shell and legs. Clean quicker job.

Good idea in theory. In practice, it's easier to just devein the prawns the old school way. Another gadget that will inhabit the bottom drawer and eventually get tossed out.
