Shelling is the technique of removing the tough outer covering from foods, such as hard-cooked eggs, shrimp, English peas, pod beans and nuts. The method used depends on the food. The shells of hard-cooked eggs are cracked and then peeled away with your fingers. Shrimp are peeled, or "shelled," by first pulling off the legs and then peeling the shells by hand. Peeling eggs and shrimp is easier if done under cool running water. To shell beans, such as limas, break off the stems from the pods and pull the strings down the seams. Then the pods should be gently squeezed between your thumbs and forefingers to open them and to remove the contents. Shelling most nuts requires more effort and a tool called a nutcracker. For easier shelling, place the nuts lengthwise rather than crosswise in the nutcracker.
