Seriously unless you bought them from a shrimp boat they were frozen a few days ago... just put them in the fridge they'll be fine. Best wishes

If you're using them tomorrow the fridge will be just fine. Keep them in the fridge as cold as possible. If you put them in the freezer it would be bad for them to be frozen at the store, thawed, and then refrozen again and thawed again. For a day or so they are still going to be fresh in the fridge.

Since you are using them tomorrow, you can peel them first then leave them covered in the freezer. Take them out only when you are ready to cook, this way the shrimps will be crunchy and fresh.

Depends, how fresh are they now. They should have a fresh clean smell, not fishy at all. One night in the fridge would be fine. Just use them tomorrow. If they are slimy, and smell like fish, you better throw them away and buy fresher ones tomorrow. Make sure you have a reliable source for fresh seafood.

Freezer. When needed, dunk them in some COLD water, and use as required. Not in luke warm or warm water. It'll spoil the shrimp.

Definitely freeze them. They can thaw in about 15 min. in a bowl of cold water, then peel and devein.

Paring knife the best way, chef knife if you have knife skills... Ir a shrimp deveiner, but as Alton Brown says, if its not a multitasker, it has no point in the kitchen. Besides, knives work better anyway...

if youre going to use them tomorrow, i think keeping them in the fridge is fine. you could freeze them if youre not going to use them within a day or two.
