The one that baffles me is peeled/unpeeled. A banana peeled? easy enough.
An apple unpeeled. Got that. But. Sometimes a recipe will call for shrimp
unpeeled. Do they mean peel the shrimp and make them unpeeled. Or leave
them alone and leave the shell on? ( NOT peeled) Just in case in you
imagine you know ... you have to know the cook. Polly
