Product Description

Amazon.com Review
The sharp, square teeth of the shrimp cleaner by Oxo remove the shell and devein the shrimp in one easy motion, eliminating the need to peel even the smallest shrimp. Insert the ridged shrimp cleaner into the end of the shrimp and pull.

The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handles put less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

Product Description
Nothing mars the presentation of pearly pink shrimp more than unsightly black veins, which are in fact not veins at all, but the alimentary canals of the shrimp. Now anyone who paid any attention at all in junior high biology knows that an alimentary canal is not high on the list of good things to eat. Get rid of them easily and efficiently with this specialized tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shrimp-lover's right arm, April 18, 2001

By	Carole "cchalcraft" (Suwanee, Georgia (suburb of Atlanta) United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars sure beats using your fingernails!, January 14, 2004

By	Shelley Shay (Denton, TX **(God Bless the USA!!)**) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oxo Rocks-O, August 3, 2000

By	Paul (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

The Oxo shrip tool allowed me to prepare approxamately 5 pounds of tiger prawns in half the time it would normally take. The comfortable grip allowed me to work quicker and longer, while the thin yet sharp blade made removing shell and deveining a cinch. Bravo to Oxo!!
