How to Devein Shrimp

To devein a shrimp, remove the outer shell and legs from the shrimp. Next, make a long cut along the back of the shrimp to expose the vein. Flare out the shrimp on each side, further exposing the vein. Drag your finger along the vein, removing it completely, and rinse the shrimp with water.
