Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Shrimp Cleaner
Customer Review: Doesn't do it for me....
Summary: 1 Stars
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...

Customer Review: Can't Recommend This Product
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this tool because I had a good-size quantity of jumbo shrimp (21-25/lb.) to prepare. I was very disappointed with it. Instead of making a clean cut to remove the vein, the tool's serrated edge mangled and shredded the flesh of the shrimp. And using it actually slowed the process down.
Before purchasing the Oxo Shrimp Cleaner, I had been using a paring knife for cleaning raw shrimp. After completely giving up on this product and then doing a little experimenting, my Fiskar scissors turned out to be the quickest and most efficient tool for accomplishing this task.
Customer Review: Bad Oxo Product

We love OXO products, but this one is not one of them. Shrimps get mangled. Might be good for very large shrimp though, but not for medium ones. My wife found it faster to just use her nails.Customer Review: shrimpboy

Buy a cheap curved knife from the dollar store. This item is all plastic and doesn't work very well.
