Peeling shrimp by hand simply isn’t feasible in a commercial setting. That’s why large shrimp production companies use industrial machines to peel and prep shrimp. Workers place the shrimp into the machines, which then cut the shells, remove the veins and peel the shrimp on a large scale. If you’d prefer to use a machine to peel your shrimp, you may want to consider a Shrimp Butler.
