All kidding aside, sexing is done by finding the gonopods of the males (they have two and they are joined to or very close to one of their sets of rear legs).
"Mantis shrimp" are really Stomatopods (so not directly shrimp, but still Crustaceans... I think...)
Brighter minds than I will be along shortly with better details... I was just here for the quick chuckle.
