At this point it's finger food. 

I have found that if I press my thumbnail into the partially peeled shrimp just 
below the tail and through the shell, it cuts the meat enough to make it easy 
to pull the entire thing out with my teeth. Not too messy, and no one knows 
what you're doing. I used to take my fork and split the shell, and peel it away 
before biting, but this was messy and awkward.

Of course, you have to have some extra nail, and not mind shrimp essence under 
your thumbnail for the remainder of the meal. I suppose you could do the same 
thing with a knife.

mmmmm, shrimp!
