Step 1
1. Rinse the shrimp, cut off the heads, and bend the tails. Between the shell segments, you should see a black intestinal tract. Use a wooden toothpick to lift and remove it (refer to the recipe photo). Peel the shrimp, leaving only the tail portion unpeeled. Now preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
