The original, from a family of shrimpers
Shrimp Butler was invented by Douglas Shelton, a WWII and Korean War veteran who took his family on shrimping trips in South Florida. He wanted his invention made and sold in the U.S.A. — and it still is. Beware of imported knockoffs: the Shrimp Butler is the original hand-cranked shrimp deveiner, protected by U.S. patents.
