Cut the stem end off, not the root end. You want to cut off the end that was the stem of the shallot.
Peel the skin off the shallot. Use a pairing knife it its easier.
Cut in half through the root end.
Slice into the shallot towards the root end bit not though it. You want to leave some to keep it intact.
Cut across the shallot to dice it.
If you want slices that dont slice into the shallot skip that step and then cut across like you diced it.
Tip:
Soak the shallots to make peeling the skin easier.
