How to Devein Shrimp Easily
Deveining shrimp is straightforward and requires no special equipment:
With raw shrimp, make a shallow cut along the back using a small knife.
Gently lift out the dark line with the tip of the blade or a toothpick and discard it.
The process can also be done after cooking and peeling, though the shrimp will be firmer and slightly harder to work with.
