- You can freeze any liquid around the rim of your frosted glass, giving its future contents a burst of extra flavor.

Grenadine with rose? Bloody Mary mix for an instant Michelada? If you get creative, the possibilities are endless.

Pull the body straight, so the entirety of the shrimp makes a straight line. Then, using one hand to hold the shrimp in place, use the other to find the beginning of the vein at the head opening. Pinching the tip of the vein, pull ever so gently, you should be able to pull the whole thing out in one go.
- Now, your shrimp is cleaned and ready to cook! Our classic shrimp cocktail recipe is a great place to start.
