How to Devein Shrimp - Foodie Flicks



Back away from those tiny-shrimp platters! I don't know why, but every time someone throws a party, they pick up those rings of mini shrimp as if it's gourmet and delicious. Not only are those shrimp too tiny to enjoy, but they also offer barely a fraction of the taste of the freshly prepared, larger variety.

So, to help get you off the crappy shrimp ring bandwagon, I give you: How to Devein Shrimp. It's easy. It's quick. It just requires a short amount of time to get rid of the shell and devein, and a quick saute to cook. (Talk about an easy saute -- the shrimp turn pink when they're done, so there's absolutely no guesswork.) I swear -- it's better to have less shrimp and mouth-watering flavor than those little things with crappy flavor -- save those for your shrimp salad.

Food Video Finds: Vegan French Onion Soup



I am far from a vegan, and I'm inclined to agree with anyone who says that French Onion Soup isn't French Onion Soup without the rich, tasty meat flavor. That being said, I'm immensely intrigued by a new foodie video that's popped up over on YouTube, which you can see above.

Unlike many FOS recipes that use Brandy, this variety uses rum, and then a collection of ingredients that sound like they could make for a tasty, albeit different experience. Granted, there's no way I'd not add cheese to the mix (and some good, crusty bread), but this sounds like it could be quite tasty -- and something I'll try in the near future.

I also like the style of the video. The soup is very simple, so the entire prep is shown on fast-forward, with overlayed text. Enjoy!

Tip of the Day

Drying fruit is easy, mostly hands-off and yields a sweet and healthy snack.
