Answer 1

Here's a vid that shows how to devein shrimp: http://www.cuisinemag.com/main/videos/43-deveinShrimp.php

Basically, you take a knive and run it along the back about 1/4" to expose the vein. Pull out the vein and you're done.

Answer 2

Process of deveining
is the same for any type of prawn,hold the prawn ,concave back up,run a sharp knife along the back,not too deep,once you see a dark thread running down the back,you know your'e there.Scrape out with the knife or pick up with fingers & lift out.Though called a vein it is the intestinal tract,no wonder you go through all this trouble to get rid of it.If it gets tiresome,remember the cooked prawn you will soon be enjoying.

Answer 3

Cut down the back with a knife and scrape out the vein with water.
