Before starting to prepare the shrimps a la diabla, it is important to have the shrimps or prawns peeled and cleaned, to do this we must remove the head, the tail, the shell and finally remove the intestines, which is nothing more than making a cut in the back of the shrimp or prawn and removing a kind of black vein.
