Does it have the head and all of that? If yes, pull the head off, shell on, and don't worry about keeping it in tact. Then pull the legs off from the underside. This will give you the space to stick your fingers under the shell and start deshelling. Depending on preference, you can take all of the shell off except the tail, or take the tail shell off, too.
