Summary: Doesn't do it for me....
Comment: I don't like the way this thing works... Luckily, after I ordered it, I found my old cheapie that had been misplaced during our move.
I would suggest saving your money and buying one of the cheap plastic ones that work on the push stroke, and peels the shrimp by breaking the underside instead of cutting the shell down the back. I ruined more shrimp than I peeled with this one. I am hoping to find another use for it! Maybe a grout remover....
I find that rather sad, because I like the other OXO products I have purchased. The large handles prevents my bad finger from locking trying to hold something of small diameter...

Summary: Yeah baby...it's shrimptastic
Comment: 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.

Summary: Shrimp Cleaner Not So Good
Comment: Not as good as the last one we had, which was longer and not serrated.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Saves time, saves frustration
Comment: I love shrimp but don't like the pre-peeled, frozen variety.
Shrimp shells yield a wonderful broth for seafood dishes.
I get my shrimp fresh from ethnic stores.
So, the OXO shrimp cleaner really does reduce the 3 steps
in shrimp cleaning to 1.5. The 0.5 is for the fastidious
in me that wants to get every little bit of the vein (or digestive
tract - yuck) out. I also remove the vein on the underside.
Sigh! Shrimp cleaning is big work but this little contraption
really helps.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Handy, but could be sturdier
Comment: These gizmos make cleaning shrimp much quicker and easier. I'd been using some cheap plastic ones sold by my grocer, but the tips kept snapping off in the drawer or in use. I decided to order an OXO, as the quality of their other products has in my experience always been high. It's better than the cheapo ones, but I was disappointed that the tip is plastic rather than stainless steel, and it could be longer.

Editorial Reviews:

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.
