How to clean frozen shrimp

Many people like to use shrimp for cooking various dishes. Before preparing such dishes, the shrimp must be cleaned. Of course, you can buy peeled and boiled shrimp in the supermarket, which are then frozen, but you must understand that such shrimp will be significantly inferior in taste not only to fresh, but also to shrimp frozen in shell.

So information on how to properly clean shrimp will not be superfluous to anyone. Moreover, this process is simple and even a novice cook can handle it. You can clean shrimp both before and after cooking. It is better to clean boiled shrimp, because during cooking, the shell protects the shrimp itself from leaking juice from it into the liquid. As a result, cooked shrimp are juicier. This is especially important for small shrimp.
