Have you ever wondered why using peeled and deveined shrimp is recommended in recipes? Well, let’s first determine what deveining refers to in order to understand the value of this step.
What is Deveining?
Deveining is the process of taking out the dark “vein” that splits the shrimp along its back. It is referred to as a vein, whereas, in fact, it is the shrimp’s digestive tract. Although there is no harm in eating it, most people agree that taking out this part of the shrimp is crucial since it affects the look and the general perception of consumption.
How to Devein a Shrimp
With a small knife, gently make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp. With the knife’s end, uncover the “vein” and throw it away. Rinse the shrimp under cold running water to guarantee the shrimp is clean.
Reasons for Using Peeled and Deveined Shrimp
-
Enhanced look: Deveined shrimp looks cleaner and better; therefore, it makes your meals and dishes have a better visual.
-
Consistency of texture: In the case of a shrimp without the vein, it will have a smoother texture, unlike the coarseness caused by the vein that is often referred to as having a “grittiness” sensation.
-
Taste preference: As the vein is the shrimp’s digestive tract, some argue that by removing it, you may eliminate the opportunity of having the bitter-tasting flavor.
