If you want to put them in a pot, you can cut the ends off the stick so they will fit in. <br />You can also choose to use raw shrimp with the shell on for a red-er color after cooking.<br />After cooking, remove the skewer as well as any shell, and cut along the bottom (where the legs were) and press flat. <br /><br />You can check out how mine came out here: http://forfood.rezimo.com/?p=200 ...it's a really old post, but I think the picture will give you a good idea.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Nicole from: For the Love of Foodhttp://forfood.rezimo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220978989894261816.post-49841704207195039492010-03-26T07:41:41.128-04:002010-03-26T07:41:41.128-04:00Aren't you just so clever, we tried making suc...Aren't you just so clever, we tried making suchi once and now we buy it.

I have never used dried yeast with these, but I would think that if you did, perhaps one packet would be enough.
