Processes for machine-peeling shrimp and a system for preparing shrimp for machine peeling. According to the processes, shrimp are frozen— completely through or only their outer surfaces— in a brine solution, thawed, and then peeled in a mechanical peeling machine to remove the shells. The peeling-prep system includes a conveyor system conveying shrimp continuously through a brine freezer and a thawer before peeling.
